IRISH YOUNGSTER PAUDIE O’Connor was handed a Championship debut today, with the 20-year-old featuring in Leeds’ starting XI for the game versus Sunderland.
The defender previously played for Limerick in the League of Ireland, before joining Leeds on a two-and-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee last year following a short trial.

The inexperienced centre-back acquitted himself well amid a 1-1 draw at Elland Road, completing 90 minutes against Chris Coleman’s relegation-threatened side.
Leeds are currently 13th in the Championship, with promotion looking unlikely now despite showing encouraging form earlier in the season.
