As he embarks on this exciting new chapter of his career, the talented player aims to continue his upward trajectory within the club’s ranks.
Known for his standout performances with both the Under-18s and Under-21s, Chadwick played a pivotal role in the team’s remarkable journey to the FA Youth Cup final. With six appearances and three goals to his name, his contributions were crucial in key match-ups, including a brace against Liverpool in the quarter-finals and a goal in the memorable semi-final victory over Millwall.

In a statement released by the club, Leeds United expressed their enthusiasm for Chadwick’s signing and commended his dedication to his craft. This exciting development comes amidst a flurry of new contracts being awarded to the academy’s rising stars.
