CHARLIE CREW SIGNS PROFESSIONAL CONTRACT AT LEEDS UNITED
The young midfielder agrees on pro terms with the club.
Crew joined the Whites in the summer of 2022 and has had an impressive first year at Thorp Arch, representing both the Under-18s and Under-21s in that time.
The midfielder, who turned 17 over the summer, played 12 times in the U18 Premier League and twice in the FA Youth Cup. He then progressed into the U21 side and played 10 times in the promotion-winning Premier League 2 campaign.
As well as club level, Crew has also represented his country Wales at the Under-15, Under-16, and most recently Under-17 level, where he was also selected to be captain.
Charlie will now continue his journey at Thorp Arch ahead of the 2023/24 campaign and everyone wishes him well on his continued development with Leeds United.

Leeds United is hopeful of sealing a deal for a goalkeeper in the next few days
Leeds United are hopeful of sealing a deal to bring a new goalkeeper to the club, with Daniel Farke looking to strengthen his squad, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.
The Yorkshire Evening Post shared via their website on 24 July that a deal could be done in the next few days, with the club anticipating the exit of current first-choice ‘keeper Illan Meslier following their relegation to the Championship.
Leeds has been linked to a number of goalkeeping options this summer, including Bayern Munich’s Alexander Nubel, Newcastle’s Karl Darlow, and Norwich City’s Angus Gunn, although the former looks set for a move elsewhere this summer.
Leeds making strides forwards
Leeds is taking steps forward in the transfer market after a slow start, having already sealed a deal to bring Ethan Ampadu to the club, with a new player expected through the door in the coming days, the club is finally making positive moves.
The new player is as of yet unnamed, but seems most likely to be Newcastle goalkeeper Darlow, as Nubel looks set to snub Leeds’ interest to join Stuttgart, while links to Gunn have dried up.
It was shared on 22 July that Leeds had edged ahead of Bournemouth in the pursuit of Darlow, with a move to Yorkshire more appealing due to the player’s family being settled in the North of England, and more than likely a starting place in the team.
There has been somewhat of an exodus at Leeds this summer, and the club still expects more players to depart, but getting the wheels in motion with incoming signings ahead of the new season will ease fans’ concerns.
