Jamie Shackleton has said an emotional farewell to boyhood club Leeds United with a message to his fellow supporters.
The midfielder has joined Sheffield United after almost two decades at Thorp Arch and Elland Road, signing a three-year deal to join Leeds' fellow Championship outfit and Yorkshire rivals. Shackleton won promotion under Marcelo Bielsa and played in the Premier League, falling just six shy of 100 senior appearances and scoring twice for the Whites. In an Instagram post he paid tribute to those he had worked alongside and the club's supporters.
From my first trip to Elland Road age 7, right through to taking my son out on the pitch last month, I have many memories that I'll never forget. 'I'd like to say a huge thank you to every player, manager and member of staff I've had the pleasure of working with over the years. You have improved me as a footballer and more importantly as a person. Finally I'd like to thank the Leeds fans for their unbelievable support towards myself and the team during my time here.
