Leeds Are United Once More

The Premier League Northern Division 1 side have joined forces with LUFC and will play their home games at Wheatley Park Stadium, Garforth and two fixtures per season at Elland Road.

Leeds United Ladies first team will also train at Thorp Arch and wear the same kit as the men’s first team.

Leeds United Managing Director Angus Kinnear told leedsunited com: “We are pleased to welcome Leeds United Ladies back into our family, the women’s game is growing in popularity and rightly so, there are some very talented female players in this region and across the country.

“It is important that the club is represented in the leagues and we hope this move will encourage more young girls to get involved in football.”

Lee Townend, Chairman of Leeds United Ladies, commented: “I am so proud to be part of the re-integration of Leeds Ladies into Leeds United.

“A unified Leeds Ladies team means that not only does the city have a women’s team who will represent them and wear the badge with pride but a team which girls and the young female football players of Leeds can look up to and emulate.”

Leeds will be holding open trials on the 1st and 2nd of July for senior (open age) at 12.30pm and an open day for juniors aged 13+ is 1st and 2nd July at 9.00am, both being held at Batley Sports and Tennis Centre.
