Berardi on promotion dream

The defender, who is out of contract this summer having been at Elland Road since 2014, said: “We've been fighting for this for many years, the six years I've been at Leeds, the fans for many more years, but also for my teammates who are fighting.
"It doesn't matter if it's been one, two or three years, we have to just focus on this one and it would be the best present for everyone.”
Young goalkeeper on leaving Leeds
Harrison Male is leaving Leeds after being with the club for 12 years. The 19-year old goalkeeper has spoken to 24/7 Football , a YouTube channel, about his experience with Leeds and his career going forward.
“It is sad to leave, but I always go by everything happens for a reason,” he said.
“If this is meant to be then hopefully I can progress somewhere else.”
Male never made a senior appearance for the club, and has struggled with injury during the 2019/20 campaign.
