Limerick's Paudie O'Connor has penned a new two-year contract extension at Leeds United
FORMER Limerick FC defender Paudie O’Connor has signed a new contract with English soccer giants Leeds United.
Ballybrown 20-year-old O’Connor has put pen to paper on a new two year deal, running until the summer of 2020 and the club holds an option to extend this by a further 12 months.
O’Connor said: “It feels really good. I’m delighted to finally get it done. It’s been a good summer!
“Obviously I enjoyed the back end of last season, so to be rewarded with a new contract is a good felling and hopefully I can crack on from here.”
O’Connor joined the club from Irish side Limerick FC in 2017 and he went on to captain the Under-23 side.
His impressive performances for Carlos Corberan’s Under-23 side last term led to a senior debut in April 2018 against Sunderland.
He went on to make three further first team appearances during the 2017/18 campaign against Preston North End, Aston Villa and Barnsley.
