Saiz arrived at [Elland Road in 2017](https://www.leedsunited.com/news/team-news/22043/deal-agreed-for-saiz) from Spanish Segunda Division club Huesca, having spent the majority of his career with a number of lower division Spanish sides. The former Real Madrid academy youngster had two seasons with the Yorkshire club, [netting 10 goals in 58 appearances.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/samu-saiz/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/131506) Since leaving Leeds, [the 29-year-old has scored just once in 22 games for Catalan side Girona.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/samu-saiz/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/131506)

> A massive wasted opportunity for him, which could become the biggest regret of his career.\
> A great shame for LUFC too, as his potential contribution last season could have seen us promoted at the expense of one of the other 3 teams.

> Potentially superb and did some great things in a short time. But petulant, a short fuse and couldn’t control his temper. For me the spitting incident was the first thing that unfortunately came to mind.
