Leeds United Signs 17-Year-Old Striker Harry Gray to Long-Term Contract Following Family Legacy

Harry Gray, a highly-rated 17-year-old striker, has signed his first professional contract with Leeds United, following in the footsteps of his family members who have a long legacy with the club. Gray made his senior debut as a 16-year-old in a 6-0 win over Stoke City and has since been involved in first-team matchday squads, though he has yet to make a Premier League appearance. Despite speculation linking him to top Premier League clubs like Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, Leeds United secured his commitment with a long-term deal to keep him at Elland Road. Manager Daniel Farke has emphasized the need for Gray to gain experience with the first team and Under-21s to develop his physicality and confidence before becoming a regular in the Premier League. Gray has already impressed at youth levels and with England's under-18 side, and Leeds are optimistic about his future contributions to the club. The exact length of the contract remains undisclosed due to regulations limiting the maximum term for players signing at 17, but the club is confident in his continued progression.
