Leeds United has officially announced that Lewis Pirie has inked his inaugural expert agreement with the club, securing his commitment until 2026.
With the onset of the new year, Leeds has been notably proactive in extending contracts for promising prospects, ensuring their continuity at Elland Road.
Reports indicate that Mateo Joseph and Archie Gray have already sealed new deals, while Willy Gnonto’s agreement is imminent.
This recent development adds to the list of fresh agreements as young forward Lewis Pirie, who joined from Aberdeen last summer to bolster the U18 squad, has impressed during his time at Thorp Arch. His contract now extends until mid-2026, marking a significant milestone for the 17-year-old.
This achievement comes amidst a successful week for both Pirie and the U18 team, who advanced to the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals following a penalty shootout triumph over Sheffield United. Pirie, who came on as a substitute, contributed to the victory, with Marley Wilson scoring during regular time.
Pirie’s rapid progression, evident by his contract extension mere months after joining, speaks volumes about his potential. While it may take some time before he contends for a spot in the senior squad, his trajectory suggests he could reach that level in the years to come.
Furthermore, Pirie is just one of many promising talents within the U18 setup, highlighting the continuous stream of talent emerging from Elland Road.
