Leeds United has officially welcomed Dan Toulson as their latest youth-level contract signing, marking the third such announcement of the day. Toulson, aged 18, has committed to a one-year deal, marking his entry into the world of professional football.
This latest signing adds to the flurry of new academy contracts unveiled by Leeds in recent days, with Toulson being the sixth player from the Under-21s or Under-18s to pledge their future to the club. After successfully completing his two-year scholarship in West Yorkshire, Toulson is now embarking on his professional journey.
Known for his versatility on the field, Toulson showcased his skills by playing a pivotal role for Leeds Under-18s last season, featuring in 55 matches and participating in the FA Youth Cup run that culminated in a final against Manchester City. With promotions to the Under-21s already under his belt, Toulson aims to further his development by building on his seven Premier League 2 appearances in the upcoming year.
In an official statement, Leeds United expressed their excitement about Toulson’s potential, highlighting his adaptability in various defensive positions and his leadership qualities. The club looks forward to witnessing Toulson’s growth and progress in the seasons ahead, as he continues to hone his talents at Thorp Arch until 2025.
Joining fellow academy prospects Joe Snowdon and Marley Wilson in securing contracts on this day, Toulson follows in the footsteps of Harry Christy, Reuben Lopata-White, and Joe Richards, who inked deals the day before. With more youth-level signings expected in the near future, Leeds United continues to invest in and nurture the talent of tomorrow’s football stars.
