Roberts has issued a heartfelt message to the supporters and
all those connected with the club as he embarks on a new chapter in his career
at St Andrew’s Stadium.
"Dear all of @leedsunited,” Roberts wrote on his
Instagram account. “The club that turned me from a boy to a man. The club I've
had the highest highs and lowest lows, its [sic] time to say goodbye and to let
every single person involved with the club know how much love, respect and
appreciation I have for you.
"You have given me and my family some unforgettable
memories.
"From arriving at 19 and learning what is what to be a
professional at such a big club. To the heartbreak of missing promotion. Then
the bounce back to taking the club back to where it belongs and playing over 50
times in the premier league with you, scoring my first goals it really has been
a rollercoaster but one I would never change!
"I wish nothing but love, health, success and happiness
to all the fans, players and staff of this beautiful club. See you soon. Tyler”
Roberts featured 108 times for Leeds, scoring nine goals.
The 24-year-old has signed a four-year contract with Birmingham.
