Leeds United confirm Jack Harrison transfer as Man City winger signs on for third season

Leeds United have confirmed that Jack Harrison has signed on for a third season on loan at Elland Road.

The Manchester City winger has become a key part of Marcelo Bielsa's side over the past two seasons, first signing for an initial year in 2018, before returning for a second campaign last summer.

Over the past two seasons he has turned out 91 times for the Whites, scoring ten goals in the process. The 23-year-old played in every single league game as Bielsa's side romped to the Championship title last season.

Harrison will now be back working with Bielsa in the Premier League.

Speaking to LUTV, Harrison said: "It’s a great opportunity to come back to a great club where I have been settled for the past two years.

“Playing in the Premier League has always been a dream of mine and to be doing that with Leeds in an amazing opportunity.

“This is a great club to be a part of, I’ve developed a lot in the last two years, and I’ve learnt a lot working under Marcelo and with this great group of lads.

“My game has become more well-rounded, finding different ways to improve my game has been crucial to my development and now I’m happy to be back playing at one of the highest levels.

“As a group of lads we’ve all worked so hard to get to the point we are at now.

“You can see how much getting to the achievement means to everybody at the club, the team, the coaching staff and the fans.

“It really jumped out at me with how passionate everyone was at getting back to the Premier League and now we have achieved that goal, we have to set ourselves new goals and hopefully achieve them.

“We’ll be in the best shape of our lives and prepared to play any game, it sets us up for success and it is up to us to take the opportunity and make the most of it.”

Harrison becomes Leeds' third signing of the summer, following the club's permanent moves for Illan Meslier and Helder Costa.
