Ball's in Harrison's court over fans' trust issues after 'first good step'

Jack Harrison's Leeds United future depends on whether or not he takes the chance being presented to him in preseason, says boss Daniel Farke.

The winger has returned to Elland Road after two years out on loan with Everton, having twice exercised an exit clause in his contract.

Harrison was booed by Leeds fans during the o-0 friendly with Manchester United in Stockholm, Sweden, and, though Farke has told the 28-year-old it will take time to win back trust, the manager pointed to the precedents of redemption stories enjoyed by Junior Firpo and Brenden Aaronson.

But Farke suggested Harrison's chances of sticking at Leeds, where he has three years left on his contract, are entirely down to how he performs.

"Well, overall, it all depends on how Jack uses his chances," said Farke.

"So, first of all, he's under contract.

"He's a player who knows the league inside and out, he's in a really good age, has many, many Premier League appearances and we would be stupid if we wouldn't want to use it.
