Jamie Shackleton could be set to push for a permanent move away from Leeds United in the summer, according to his agent. The midfielder will be heading into the final year of his contract at Elland Road next season once he returns from his season-long loan at Millwall.
Shackleton started the current campaign as a regular starter at The Den but has been forced to settle for appearances from the bench since the World Cup break.
He has not started for the Lions since February and was an unused substitute during Millwall's 1-0 defeat against Hull City at the MKM Stadium last time out.

His agent Hayden Evans has suggested that Shackleton's future could lie away from Leeds, with a lack of game time being his biggest concern.
“Definitely not enough minutes for him this season,” Evans told The Athletic's Phil Hay Show.
“He’s another one who has a year left at Leeds. It’s probably more that we need to work something out to get a permanent [future away from Leeds]. He needs to be starting games and he’s good enough.”
