Leeds United have officially secured the services of talented young defender Reuben Lopata-White, signing him to a three-year professional contract. Lopata-White impressed for the Under-18s and Under-21s last season, playing a crucial role in their run to the FA Youth Cup Final.
At just 18 years old, the central defender has committed to a long-term deal at Elland Road and is set to make the jump to the Under-21 squad for the upcoming 2024/25 season. He made a significant impact in the Premier League 2 with four starts and even scored his first goal in a match against Derby County.
Leeds released a statement expressing their excitement for Lopata-White’s progression within the club, congratulating him on his first professional contract. The team is eager to see his continued development at Thorp Arch as he joins a group of promising scholars expected to sign professional terms with Leeds in the near future.
