Leeds United can confirm Academy goalkeeper Rory Mahady has joined Scunthorpe United on a youth loan.

The Scotland Under-21 international has been in fine form for Scott Gardner’s side so far this term and was an integral part of the team that last season lifted the National League Cup.

After impressing in the competition at the Attis Arena in September’s victory over Scunthorpe, Mahady now heads to the Iron temporarily to gain further experience as he continues his development.

Andy Butler’s side sit fifth in the Vanarama National League standings and the 19-year-old could make his debut in familiar surroundings this evening as they face York City at the LNER Community Stadium.

Everyone at Leeds United would like to wish Rory well during his time in Lincolnshire and we will be monitoring his progress closely.
