Leeds United: Youthful forward agrees contract extension and departs on loan
Leeds United's Mallik Wilks has today agreed an extension to his present contract, which will now expire upon the conclusion of the 2018-2019 season.
Youthful striker Mallik Wilks has agreed a 12-month contract extension with Leeds United, just seven months after making his first-team debut for the Whites in an FA Cup defeat at the hands of Sutton United.
The forward, 18, has been loaned to League Two Accrington Stanley until January. It is hoped that regular football under John Coleman in Lancashire will aid the player's development.
