The form that got him the England cap was playing for Cheltenham Town in League 2. I always thought that was a strange one.
Anyway, he certainly appears to be a good young player who fits the profile of the type of player we should be targeting, so good luck to him. We have unwittingly been the springboard for a few young players to break into the England squad. Just look at how Townsend and Barkley benefited from their spell at Leeds!

I'm no xenophobe, but it's too easy to plump for "bargain" European players and, frankly, it's lazy. There's plenty of good players in the lower leagues so why not bring them through and see how far they go.
In fact, we could field an all-English squad at the moment, let alone British:
Butland
Peltier - Lees - Pearce - Warnock
Byram - Murphy - Mowatt - Stewart
Poleon - Smith
Good temporary signing this is, and one that i think is a sign of things to come, intentions of Cellino and BmD working together, i wouldnt think this has anything to do with GFH at this stage.
Anymore suprises Brian? Give us a few more..... Thanks in advance
Young, fit, talented and as played for England ...... These are four things that aren't normally linked to any of our signings, if this is the Cellino factor, then I'm all for it.
We are Leeds, we have to believe our new players are good enough, encourage and support them and help them grow in to a team to be reckoned with. MoT
Good signing for Leeds, something we all seem to agree on, I seem to recall he was a very promising keeper but for some reason his career faltered, hope he can rebuild it now at ER.
