Leeds United have exercised their option to extend Luke Ayling’s contract at Elland Road by a year. The right-back’s deal was due to expire at the end of the current Premier League season, but the Whites are keen to see him stick around beyond the summer.
As such, they have extended his deal until the end of the 2023-24 season by triggering the clause they held in his contract, following his strong recent displays in a White shirt. The vice-captain has been one of Leeds’ strongest performers over the last few weeks and he has shown how valuable his experience can be following the dismissal of Jesse Marsch earlier this month.
Ayling has made 237 appearances for the Whites since joining from Bristol City in 2016, and with his future secured, he can now focus entirely on trying to keep the Whites in the Premier League.
