Leeds United goalkeeper agrees new Elland Road contract – Done Deal
Harry Christy has now signed a new one-year deal with Leeds United, the club have now confirmed.
The 20-year-old has agreed on a contract that will see him remain at Elland Road until, at least, the summer of 2025.
It had been reported previously by Leeds Live (8 July) that the Whites wanted to promote the Englishman to be their third-choice goalkeeper for next season.
After the departure of Kristoffer Klaesson to Rakow Czestochowa was confirmed, a spot was opened up for Christy ahead of the new campaign.

The keeper has featured heavily for the Leeds Under 21s side in the Premier League 2 and also featured on the first team bench in the FA Cup.
The 20-year-old has come through the academy at Thorp Arch having been born locally and has featured for the u18s and 21s so far.
Klaesson was the third choice last season and now with him confirming his departure to Poland, there is a gap in the Whites’ squad.
There is also a chance that Illan Meslier makes the decision to leave Elland Road this summer having been linked to Monaco and Marseille.
This could potentially see Christy become the number two option under Daniel Farke next campaign behind the more experienced Karl Darlow.
In Archie Gray, there is already a clear pathway to the first team for academy prospects and the goalkeeper could be the latest off the production line from Thorp Arch.
