Leeds United are delighted to announce captain Ethan Ampadu has signed a new contract with the club, committing his long-term future to the Whites. <\/p>\n
The 25-year-old has put pen-to-paper on a fresh four-year deal, to keep him at Elland Road until the summer of 2030. <\/p>\n
The versatile midfielder has been an influential figure in West Yorkshire both on and off the pitch since his arrival from Chelsea ahead of the 2023\/24 season, when he was the first signing of the club\u2019s new ownership regime. <\/p>\n
In his debut campaign, Ampadu featured in every league match for Daniel Farke\u2019s side and was named the club\u2019s Player of the Year. <\/p>\n
The following summer, Ampadu was handed the captain\u2019s armband and revelled in the role, leading by example to help guide the Whites to a 100-point haul and, crucially, the Championship trophy which he proudly held aloft after the final day victory away at Plymouth Argyle. <\/p>\n
Last term, Ethan shone on United\u2019s return to the Premier League, making 35 appearances in the heart of midfield and scoring once, memorably in the 4-1 home victory over Crystal Palace. <\/p>\n
Then, to cap off a superb 2025\/26 campaign, the 25-year-old collected his second Player of the Year Award along with picking up the Players\u2019 Player of the Year accolade. <\/p>\n
Passing a century of appearances in Leeds colours last season while impressing in the top-flight, Ampadu currently has a total of 126 outings to his name and three goals. <\/p>\n
Away from Elland Road, Ethan\u2019s work within the community has been remarkable, consistently supporting the efforts of the Leeds United Foundation, with appearances at events across the city and displaying a real drive and passion for connecting with those in the region. <\/p>\n
He has also continued to thrive at international level with Wales too, regularly captaining the side and earned his 62nd cap in last Tuesday\u2019s friendly with Ghana. <\/p>\n
Everyone at Leeds United is thrilled Ethan has signed a new long-term deal and we look forward to seeing him continuing to excel at Elland Road in the years to come. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United are delighted to announce captain Ethan Ampadu has signed a new contract with the club, committing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620823,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-620822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
