Former Leeds defender Tony Dorigo has insisted that youngster Jamie Shakleton has a bright future ahead after being impressed by the 19-year-old this season.
Shakleton has become another player under the age of 21 years old to break into Marcelo Bielsa’s first team. The versatile youngster has already made three league starts for Leeds as they aim for promotion to the Premier League.
Speaking to the LS11LUFC Podcast (Via This is Futbol) Dorigo said: “I saw him [Shackleton] in pre-season and he was playing at right-back despite being a midfielder.”
Dorigo, who made over 170 appearances for Leeds, lauded the youngster’s ability on the ball and claims he regularly puts in good performances for the Whites.
