Leeds United have strengthened their youth talent as goalkeeper Darryl Ombang has signed a new contract.
According to Leeds’ official website [8 May], Ombang has signed a deal until the summer of 2026, which would extend the length of his stay at the club to five years since arriving in 2021.
The 18-year-old has played between the sticks for both the Whites’ Under-18 and Under-21 sides, as well as representing England on several occasions at Under-17 level, and has been tipped for a massive future.
Ombang will eventually look to push towards the senior Leeds squad, with the club’s goalkeeping situation potentially in transition as they look to sign Viktor Johansson from relegated Rotherham United.
