Goalscoring midfielder signs first professional Leeds United deal

Teenage Leeds United midfielder Theo Hudson has signed his first professional deal at Elland Road according to the club’s official website.

The 18-year-old Knaresborough-born midfielder has starred for The Whites’ Under-18 side this season while he was handed his first outing for the Under-23s in March.

Hudson is a creative player with the youngster having scored five goals in just 23 appearances from midfield while providing a handful of assists as Leeds United challenged for the Professional Development League North title last season.

Leeds United have now rewarded the midfielder for his development during the 2018/2019 campaign by offering him a one-year professional deal which the player has quickly signed.

The next aim for Hudson in his Leeds United career will be to feature more regularly for the Under-23s in the new season, although he may also be given the opportunity to experience some game time with the senior squad during pre-season. The Whites have a history of giving their academy players chances in the first team and Hudson will be hoping to follow a similar path.

Hudson signed for Leeds United at the age of just nine and has successfully negotiated his way through various age groups. The youngster has represented England at Under-16 level and he will be keen to experience professional football to help him in his quest for further international honours.
