Leeds United news as Barry Douglas returns to former club following Whites release

Here are the latest Leeds United evening headlines on Friday, July 2.

Barry Douglas returns to former club

Barry Douglas is set to return to his former side Lech Poznan, following the expiration of his Leeds United contract this week.

The left-back's three-year spell at Elland Road officially came to an end on Wednesday following a loan spell at Balckburn Rovers last season.

The Polish side have now confirmed that an agreement is in place for him to return to the club, where he had a two-and-a-half year spell between 2013 and 2016.

The 31-year-old is due in Poland today, where he will need to undergo a medical before signing the contract. Poznan also confirmed that they are seeking clarification over whether or not the Scot will have to quarantine.

Gelhardt on pre-season return

Leeds United prodigy Joe Geldhardt says it is 'unbelievable' to train alongside the likes o Kalvin Phillips as he insists is in the best shape he's ever been in going into preseason.

The 19-year-old will be hoping he can continue to impress the Argentinian manager and build on an impressive debut season with Leeds.

"I feel good, we had a tough offseason programme, it was tough physically but if it gets you right, it's got to be done. I feel the sharpest and fittest I've ever felt, to be honest," he said.
