Taking to their official website, Leeds United have confirmed the signing of Edward Ibrovic-Fletcher.

Revealing their new signing, the Premier League side commented: “Leeds United are pleased to announce the signing of Edward Ibrovic-Fletcher, who joins the club’s Academy from Manchester United.”

The statement continued: “The Leeds-born attacking midfielder returns to his home city and has signed a deal that will keep him at Thorp Arch until 2028.

“A versatile player also capable of featuring across the front line, Ibrovic-Fletcher has been capped by Serbia at youth level.

“Last year, alongside appearing for Manchester United Under-18s, he debuted for Serbia’s Under-19s after previously starring at U17 and U16 level.

“Everyone at Leeds United would like to welcome Edward to the club and we look forward to seeing his development at Thorp Arch, where he will link up with Scott Gardner’s U21s.”

Speaking for the first time as a Leeds player, Ibrovic-Fletcher commented: ““It feels brilliant, it is been something I have dreamed of for a long time, spending time at Leeds.”

He continued: “I can’t wait to get started. I was here when I was really young for a little bit and now I am back here. I am an attacking player, a creative player on the box and like scoring and assisting.

“I think it is a good place for development, for me to develop as a player and improve. It is definitely something you look for.

“I am a Leeds fan so that was obviously a factor! I just want to get in, play consistently and score. To play in front of the fans will be a dream come true.”
