BUTLAND’S LOVED IT AT LEEDS

-

JACK BUTLAND has no regrets about moving to Leeds on loan this season – despite the off-field chaos.

The England internatio­nal arrived at Leeds in February from parent club Stoke in the hope of forcing his way into Roy Hodgson’s World Cup plans.

But disappoint­ing results on the field, and the financial troubles off the pitch, have put paid to that.

“The spell has had a few ups and downs but what hasn’t changed is the experience I’m getting of playing for a big club,” said Butland.

“Yes it’s been tough and we’ve not picked up enough points, but it’s taught me a lot for the rest of my career.”
