Adam Forshaw leaves Leeds United despite invitation to return for pre-season - Leeds Live 22/7/23

The former Whites midfielder was invited back for pre-season training this summer following the expiration of his contract

Adam Forshaw has left Leeds United following the expiration of his contract. The veteran midfielder had been invited back for pre-season training in the hope he would sign a new deal at Elland Road.

However, the 31-year-old will now play no part in Daniel Farke's Championship campaign after leaving the club. Forshaw, whose time at Elland Road was blighted by injuries, will now move onto a new chapter in his career.

The former Middlesbrough midfielder has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, following a number of high profile players making the move to the Middle East. It has not yet confirmed whether Forshaw will make the move to the Saudi Professional League, but reports elsewhere connected the two as recent as last week.

A Leeds United statement read: "Adam Forshaw has left Leeds United following his contract expiring last month. Forshaw joined the Whites from Middlesbrough in January 2018 and went on to appear 91 times for the club in all competitions.

"Adam faced an injury battle during his time at Elland Road, but he fought back to regain full fitness and featured several times towards the end of last season, giving everything he had to keep Leeds in the top-flight.

"Not only has Adam been an important player over the years, but he has also been a leader behind the scenes, who has always gone above and beyond for the club and community. Everyone at Leeds United wishes Adam, Yasmin, Luca and Rheo all the best for the future, they will always be welcome at Elland Road."

Forshaw was part of Marcelo Bielsa's Championship winning squad in 2019-20 and recent boss Sam Allardyce had advised the club to try and keep the experienced pro at the club beyond this summer.
