Leeds United head of recruitment Jordan Miles will be involved in the club's summer transfer plans and Leeds Live has taken a look at what he could bring
It's hard to say no to Leeds United. Jordan Miles can tell you that. Miles had only joined Aberdeen last summer, but Leeds Live understands the club's head of recruitment was 'absolutely buzzing' to make the move to Elland Road.
"He was excellent for us at Ipswich in every department. He sat in all our team meetings. Whether we were discussing a game, strategy, tactics or recruitment, he was involved in all of it. The Premier League soon beckoned. Miles joined West Ham United as a first-team performance analyst in 2016 before earning a promotion to head of recruitment analysis a year-and-a-half later.
"Jordan is very level-headed and a normal down to earth guy who doesn't get carried away with his position," he told Leeds Live. "I've met a lot of people in football, having worked in the Premier League for eight years, who get a little bit carried away with their power. Jordan doesn't do that. He's built up a very good knowledge from the bottom up, really."
Miles, who has bolstered the club's recruitment department with a number of scouting appointments, has slotted into that existing structure and was among those carrying out groundwork ahead of the window opening last week. When it comes to working with Farke and Co, a former colleague, who did not wish to be named, tellingly, described Miles as a 'collaborative' operator, who can 'see how things fit together'.
"He had a good attention to detail and made sure he knew exactly what was happening. He was very thorough. Leeds are lucky to have him."
