'Something I'm very excited about - Byram signs new deal with Leeds

Leeds United defender Sam Byram is "over the moon" after signing a new one-year contract to extend his stay at Elland Road until the summer of 2026.

The 31-year-old, who came through the Leeds academy, played a key role in the club's promotion-winning campaign last season, making 39 appearances as Daniel Farke's side secured the Championship title.

Byram, who rejoined United before the 2023-24 campaign, has now made over 200 appearances for his boyhood club since his debut in 2012. His versatility and experience were crucial last term, including a memorable goal in the win over Luton Town in November.

"I am over the moon to get this over the line and to be back in for day one of pre-season," Byram told club media., external

"Obviously, it is a huge challenge ahead, but one that I am excited for. I am hopeful to add my experience from the past and do whatever I can for the club to help our ambitions for this year.

"It was a dream of mine to get promoted with Leeds, and then obviously to be around for the Premier League season is sort of that one step further. It is something I am very excited about."
