O’Connor has uncertain Leeds future, could leave permanently in 2020

Paudie O’Connor has an uncertain future at Leeds United, having struggled for playing time at Elland Road since joining from Limerick in 2017. The 21-year-old has made only four appearances for Leeds in the last two years and could find himself low down the pecking order in 2019/20 as a result.

Pontus Jansson, Liam Cooper, Gaetano Berardi, Luke Ayling and Aapo Halme have operated at centre-back under Marcelo Bielsa in 2018/19 which could limit O’Connor’s chances of getting first-team football. The Irishman is out of contract in 2020 and may be on his way out of the club if he continues being on the periphery.
