Northern Ireland midfielder Alfie McCalmont signs bumper new deal with Leeds United

Northern Ireland international Alfie McCalmont has signed a new contract with Leeds United.

The newly-promoted Premier League club have confirmed that McCalmont has signed a four-year deal.

The midfielder's new contract will see him remain at Elland Road until the summer of 2024.

The 20-year-old is regarded as one of Marcelo Bielsa’s favourites in the Under 23 squad and blooded him with two EFL Cup appearances in August last season.

He made his senior Northern Ireland debut in a friendly last September as a second-half substitute against Luxembourg.

Leeds said on their website: "McCalmont has been a regular for the Under-23s over the past two seasons and featured regularly in Marcelo Bielsa’s matchday squad throughout the last campaign as Leeds United won the Sky Bet Championship.

"He made his Leeds United debut last August, helping the Whites record a 3-0 victory over Salford City in the Carabao Cup and also played in the next round against Stoke City.

"Following this, McCalmont, who had been capped at youth level by Northern Ireland, was given his senior international debut against Luxembourg in September.

"He joins fellow young players Mateusz Bogusz, Oliver Casey and Bobby Kamwa in committing his long-term future to the club."
