Leeds United defender Charlie Cresswell spoke exclusively to LUTV after signing a new contract with the club.

The 20-year-old has put pen-to-paper on a new four-year deal, running until the summer of 2027.

Creswell is now looking to kick on with his boyhood club, having progressed through the academy system at Thorp Arch over the past nine years.

“I’m buzzing really, I can’t put into words how proud I am of where I’ve come from, to where I’m at now,” said Cresswell.

“It wouldn’t have happened without the help of all the people along the way, like the coaches all the way through the academy and all of the staff who have worked for me.

“This is just the start and it’s given me a good platform to go and showcase my talent this season and really push on.

“I’ve been here since the age of 11, I’ve seen a lot of people come and go, it’s been some ride to get here, but this is just the start and I’m looking forward to what we can achieve this season, hopefully we can create some memories in front of the fans.

“I’m still young, I’m only 20, I’m delighted and happy to be here and it shows the confidence the club and staff have in me by giving me this deal and hopefully I can repay the faith this season.

“I want to play a big part this season, I want to achieve big things in front of the fans and make the people around me proud.

“I loved my loan at Millwall last season, the experience of the Championship was relentless and now I’m ready now to go at it this season with Leeds."
