Leeds United can today confirm Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen has penned a professional contract with the club.

The 17-year-old has signed a two-year-deal at Elland Road, running until the summer of 2023.

Last season the defender made appearances at both Under-18 and Under-23 level for the Whites.

He will now play a more predominant role for the Under-23s over the next two seasons.

Speaking about the deal he said: “It’s a great achievement to be at such a great club with such a great history and I’m made up signing my professional contract.

“I can’t wait to keep working hard and improving, I’m looking forward to making the step up to Under-23s football and I can’t wait for the new season.

“I’m a player who reads the game quite well and I like to defend on the front foot, I want to keep learning under the coaching staff and become a better player in general.”

Everyone at Leeds United would like to congratulate Jeremiah on this achievement.
