AliousLeeds United Secures Long-Term Future of Rising Star Charlie Crew
Leeds United has announced the signing of a new four-year contract with Charlie Crew, a promising young midfielder who has caught the attention of both club and country.
The deal will keep the Welsh international at Elland Road until 2028.
Crew’s ascent through the ranks at Leeds has been swift and impressive.
Last season, he began to transition from the Under-21s to the first team, impressing manager Daniel Farke with his performances.
Farke had hinted at Crew’s potential earlier in the year, carefully avoiding naming him directly to shield the youngster from undue pressure.
The teenager’s talent didn’t go unnoticed on the international stage either.
In June, Wales manager Rob Page awarded Crew his first senior cap in a friendly against Gibraltar, amidst reported interest from England in securing his allegiance.
Crew’s progression at Leeds saw him included in the first team matchday squad against Watford last season, with Farke emphasizing that this wasn’t merely due to squad shortages but a reflection of Crew’s quality in training.
The midfielder has continued to train with the first team throughout this pre-season.
The young talent played a crucial role in Leeds’ academy success last season, featuring prominently in the team that reached the FA Youth Cup final.
Comfortable in various midfield positions, Crew’s versatility adds to his value as a prospect.
Leeds United expressed their delight at securing Crew’s future, highlighting his development both at club level and internationally.
The club looks forward to nurturing his talent further as he continues his journey at Elland Road.
