LEEDS United have confirmed City winger Jack Harrison will remain at the club for another loan spell next season.

Harrison has already spent two seasons at Leeds as he returned last summer to help right the wrongs of their heartbreaking play-off defeat, which they have done in style.

The 23-year-old has played a major role in Marcelo Bielsa’s side, scoring six goals and creating eight more in 44 games, as Leeds secured promotion back to the Premier League after a 16-year absence as champions.

It could be a busy summer for the Yorkshire club as they prepare for the rigours of top flight football but the future of Harrison is already resolved as director of football Victor Orta has confirmed he will spend another year on loan at Elland Road.

“A key player has been Jack Harrison, who will continue one more year with us in the Premier League,” Orta told Radio Mallorca, via HITC.

“We have reached an agreement with City and we will continue to do so on loan next season.

“When I called David Villa, and he answered me about the player in such a blunt way, I got out of doubt and brought him to the club. He is a footballer whose ceiling is invisible.”

Harrison joined City from sister club New York City FC in 2018 but he has yet to make an appearance for the club. He was immediately loaned to Middlesbrough upon his return to England but only made four appearances in a six-month spell before finding success and regular playing time at Leeds.
