# Leeds: Owen Bray set to depart Elland Road

**Leeds United midfielder Owen Bray is set to depart Elland Road at the end of the season, according to journalist [Pete O’Rourke](https://twitter.com/SportsPeteO/status/1516317630390489088).**

### The Lowdown: Bray profiled

Bray is 19 years of age and is [primarily](https://www.transfermarkt.com/owen-bray/profil/spieler/746080) a central midfielder who has made [eight](https://www.transfermarkt.com/owen-bray/leistungsdaten/spieler/746080) appearances in the club’s academy.

He is out of [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.com/owen-bray/profil/spieler/746080) at the end of June after having had his scholarship [extended](https://www.leedsunited.com/news/team-news/28180/leeds-united-2021-22-retained-list) last summer alongside Taylor Ragan. Bray has made just [one](https://www.transfermarkt.com/owen-bray/leistungsdaten/spieler/746080) appearance for the U23s, and it looks as if he’ll now move on over the coming months.

### The Latest: O’Rourke’s post

[O’Rourke](https://twitter.com/SportsPeteO/status/1516317630390489088) took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to provide an update on Bray, revealing that the teenager is set to depart the Whites soon.

> “Leeds midfielder Owen Bray is set to leave Elland Road at the end of the season when his contract expires.”

[Reports](https://the72.co.uk/270878/wigan-athletic-looking-at-leeds-united-winger-owen-bray/) have suggested that League One side Wigan Athletic are looking at Bray ahead of a possible move, with the Whites youngster set to turn out for Wigan’s U23s against Hull City.

### The Verdict: Makes sense?

Leeds have a number of promising [midfielders](https://www.leedsunited.com/teams/u23) coming through at Thorp Arch, including Lewis Bate, Sean McGurk and Jack Jenkins, so allowing Bray to depart could suit all parties.

He’s struggled to become a regular in the U23s squad, with his only appearance coming in a [7-0](https://www.transfermarkt.com/owen-bray/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/746080/saison/2020/wettbewerb/GBFL/verein/20116) EFL Trophy defeat to Accrington Stanley back in 2020.

On that basis, moving to the lower leagues in search of first-team football could be a wise call by Bray, after limited opportunities at Elland Road.
