Tyler Denton pens new Leeds deal after scoring debut

Leeds full-back Tyler Denton has capped a memorable week by signing a new three-year deal at his hometown club.

The 20-year-old, a graduate of the United academy, marked his senior debut with the winner during Leeds' 1-0 EFL Cup win at Luton on Tuesday night.

And just three days later Denton, whose agent is former Leeds left-back Ian Harte, has now prolonged his stay at Elland Road until at least 2019.

He told the club's official website: "This week could possibly be the best week of my life.

"I'm so grateful to the gaffer and his coaching staff for trusting me for my debut. To score was a dream come true and this just tops it off.

"I signed a one-year deal at the start of the season and it was an incentive to do better things and keep trying to impress the gaffer. This new contract now gives me a stable footing and gives me something to build on.

"I don't want Tuesday night to be the be all and end all - I want to carry on doing good things for Leeds United. The experience on Tuesday will do me good but the hard work starts now.
