"I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has been at the club during my 6 years. From the kitchen staff, all the way through to the backroom team and Victor Orta.

"Thanks to my goalkeeper coaches who have helped mould me into the person and player I am today.

"To all the lads that I have played ith, thank to everyone of you, it's been a pleasure, I hope too see you soon and best of luck for the up and coming season.

"Lastly, I'd like to say a massive thank you to the fan, you are what makes the club so special, your support is incredible."

Peacock-Farrell leaves after he lost his place in the Whites starting XI to January signing Kiko Casilla, who replaced the 22-year-old between the sticks at Elland Road after his January arrival.
