Leeds United have made their third signing of the day after confirming that Liam McCarron has joined from Carlisle United.
The in-demand 18-year-old joins for an undisclosed fee and has put pen to paper on a three-year deal in West Yorkshire.
McCarron broke through into the Carlisle first-team last season, turning out 20 times in all competitions after making his debut against Morecambe in a September EFL Trophy clash.
The pacey winger attracted attention from Premier League and Championship scouts, with Leeds beating off the competition to land the teenager.
McCarron told the Carlisle website that he felt he could not turn the opportunity down.
“I’ve loved my time with Carlisle United and I’m leaving with a very heavy heart," he said.
“I’d like to thank the club for everything they’ve done for me, and it became an even harder decision to make when a new contract offer was mentioned.
“This opportunity has come up and I just feel it’s one I have to take. Carlisle United will always be in my thoughts because I wouldn’t be where I am now without the help and support I’ve received from the staff, the coaches and the fans.
McCarron is set to join up with the club's successful under-23s team under Carlos Corberan, with a view to stepping up into the first-team squad.
His arrival comes after Leeds confirmed their first two signings of the summer on Monday morning, when Premier League duo Jack Harrison and Ben White arrived on season-long loan deals from Manchester City and Brighton respectively.
