Jamie Ashdown set for Leeds exit

-
Club Call 2/5/14
Leeds goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown has given the clearest indication that he is set to leave the club.
The 33-year-old had surgery to resolve a problem with his toe in November and has played no part for Brian McDermott's side this season.
The former Portsmouth goalkeeper tweeted: "Last training session today at £lufc "Great club. Look forward to my next adventure now. Thanks to all that helped me through injury." Ashdown had provided back-up for Paddy Kenny since arriving at Leeds from Portsmouth in the summer of 2012, but has not been on the bench since the end of last season due to his latest injury. He featured regularly in the cup competitions for Leeds last season - his last appearance was in the FA Cup defeat at Manchester City in February - and made eight first-team appearances in total.
Ashdown set up a new website business last year, Trusted Pro Supplements, which helps athletes avoid taking banned or harmful substances after recognising a gap in the sports supplements industry.

Why Leeds United are ready to break transfer record on £40m 'moonshot' James Trafford — YEP 28/7/26

By Kyle Newbould When Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe spoke about transfer ‘moonshots’ last month it was in the context of attacking targets - but goalkeeper James Trafford might prove the biggest moonshot of the summer. Leeds are on the verge of completing a deal for the Manchester City goalkeeper that will be worth £40million plus add-ons. It will be a club-record transfer by some margin, eclipsing the £35.5m spent on Georginio Rutter back in January 2023. Trafford will also strengthen his status as the most expensive English goalkeeper ever, having already been so following his £31m move from Burnley a year ago. City signed Trafford to be their No.1 but an opportunity to land Italian international Gianluigi Donnarumma - widely regarded as one of the world’s best goalkeepers - could not be passed up. Opportunities were therefore limited for the 23-year-old but he still impressed when called upon. Trafford played 17 games for Manchester City across all competitions, which...
