# Leeds: Jack Jenkins signs new Whites deal

**Leeds United youngster Jack Jenkins has extended his stay with the Whites, signing a new deal that will keep him at Elland Road until 2024.**

### The Lowdown: Jenkins excites at Leeds

Kalvin Phillips may be Leeds’ undisputed main man in midfield for the first team, but Jenkins has similarly caught the eye for Under-23s.

The 19-year-old has made [24 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-jenkins/alletore/spieler/734375) for the Whites’ youth team in total, including 22 in Premier League 2, registering five assists along the way.

### The Latest: Youngster rewarded with new deal

On Monday, Leeds’ official [Twitter](https://twitter.com/LUFC/status/1442413710560141316?s=20) account [confirmed](https://www.leedsunited.com/news/academy/28806/jack-jenkins-agrees-new-deal) that Jenkins had penned a new deal that will see him remain at the club until at least 2024.

The midfielder joins Whites duo Charlie Cresswell and Liam McCarron in agreeing new contracts.

### The Verdict: One for the future

It is important that Leeds build towards the future and Jenkins is someone who could become a key figure if his form at youth level translates to the senior game, highlighting the importance of tying him down.

Granted, he won’t necessarily be a first-team regular for a while – it may even be after Marcelo Bielsa eventually moves on – but long-term planning is essential.

Jenkins has [one first-team appearance](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-jenkins/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/734375/plus/0/saison/2020/wettbewerb/FAC/verein/399) to his name, coming against Crawley Town in the FA Cup last season, and the hope is that it is the first of many.
