Liam Cooper has sealed his move to CSKA Sofia
Leeds United have today paid tribute to Liam Cooper after the centre-back completed his move to Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia. The Scotland international officially left the Whites at the end of June following the expiry of his contract.
United have paid a glowing tribute to Cooper in a lengthy statement on the club's website. Reflecting on his final year at the club, the statement read: "His off-field and on-field experience helped Daniel Farke to integrate and promote youth into the starting line-up at the club, with Cooper always on hand to offer wise words and tactical know-how.
"Liam and his family will always be welcome back at Elland Road, he will go down in history as one of the club’s greatest ever captains. Thank you for everything, skip." "Whilst he will rightly be remembered for captaining the side to a Premier League return after a 16 year absence, for me, it was his leadership and selflessness to help steer the club through the financial turmoil of the pandemic, which will also give him a unique place in the club’s history. It goes without saying, that Elland Road will always be his home."
