The young Spanish midfielder looks set to feature more frequently in the first-team next season after a highly successful debut year with the club’s U23 side. Rey recently featured in both games in the club’s AYA Bank tour of Myanmar where they played out friendly games against a Myanmar National League All-stars side and the Myanmar National team.
Oriol Rey has become the second U23 player to sign a contract extension at the club, as Bryce Hosannah also signed a new two-year deal at Elland Road. Rey and Hosannah will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Tom Pearce and Paudie O’Connor who have all made their senior debuts this season after being promoted from the academy system at the club and being thrown a chance by Paul Heckingbottom in the first-team.
