Leeds' teenage goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has signed a new two-year contract with the club.

Peacock-Farrell, 19, who made his first-team debut last season, has put pen to paper on a new deal 12 months after signing his first professional contract at Elland Road.

"I'm delighted to commit my future to Leeds for another two years," Peacock-Farrell told the club's official website.

"It's a massive club and it's a great privilege to be a part of it moving forward.

"I was never in doubt about where I wanted to be or where my future lies. It was just about getting the final pieces sorted - now it's all done."

Peacock-Farrell is excited to start working with new head coach Garry Monk following the former Swansea manager's appointment last week.

"We've got a new manager in and he's a big name," he added. "He'll bring his own views and takes on progressing the team and taking steps forward. It will be great to be a part of it.

"It was a nice touch for him to come down and take the time out to come and say 'hello'. It's great to have that."

Peacock-Farrell arrived from Middlesbrough in 2013 and made his only first-team appearance in the 1-1 home draw against QPR in April.

Meanwhile, 18-year-old Tom Pearce, who can play as a full-back or left winger, has signed his first professional contract with the club, committing for 12 months.
