Harrogate's Archie Gray could be in line for Leeds United debut
Harrogate’s Archie Gray could be in line for his senior Leeds United debut.
Leeds are set to take on Cardiff City in their EFL Championship opening match at Elland Road at 2.30pm today.
Gray has been involved in all of the club’s pre-season fixtures in preparation for the new season.
The 17-year-old could feature in central midfield alongside Ethan Ampadu, who he partnered with in Leeds’ final friendly against Hearts last Sunday.
Speaking in a press conference ahead of the opening game, Leeds manager Daniel Farke sought to relieve pressure on the youngster amid his first team prospects.
He said:
Gray completed his GCSEs at St John Fisher Catholic High School in Harrogate last year.
He signed his first professional contract with Leeds United in March this year.
He is also great-nephew of Leeds legend, and Kirkby Overblow resident, Eddie Gray.
