Daniel Farke hints 24-year-old will be at Leeds United next season, he’s out of contract in June

Jamie Shackleton defied expectations to return to the Leeds United team during the preseason last summer, but with his contract about to expire, those doubts are starting to surface again.

Shackleton played in the Championship on loan at Millwall last season. Under Gary Rowett, he made 37 appearances but only made 18 starts. His future at Leeds was very much in doubt when he returned.

Even more, his representative declared that he would be looking to get his client a long-term contract. However, he has returned to the Leeds team and has made 13 appearances this season. He could be unable to play on Tuesday due to illness.

However, rumors over Shackleton’s long-term future are starting to surface. At the end of the season, Shackleton’s contract expires, and other teams will probably be vying for his signing.

On Monday, Daniel Farke was questioned about whether Shackleton could remain at Elland Road with the player who is currently set to go on a free. He stated that Leeds will “look after” Shackleton on the team’s YouTube account.

“There’s no denying that he looks best in a Leeds shirt. I adore Jamie and think highly of him. So adaptable, capable of playing a variety of roles. played midfield, left back, and right back. One top game at Ipswich, on the left, comes to mind.

“He always gives his all, and he identifies strongly with Leeds. Such a player is what you always hope to have, albeit not always in the spotlight. He’s dependable at all times and available anytime you need him. We’ll take care of Jamie.

Having Shackleton on the team is advantageous since he can play a variety of roles off the bench and consistently excels in preseason bleep tests. He also has a flawless mindset.

His registration as a homegrown player trained by the club is a significant factor that could persuade Leeds to award him a new contract. Does he intend to stay? Maybe he wants to give something fresh a shot.

Given that he will never be a starting option for this Leeds team, you can hardly blame him if he chooses to do the latter. Observing what transpires over the next few weeks or months will be interesting.
