Leeds United transfer latest: Jamie Shackleton completes move to Championship side Millwall

The 22-year-old academy graduate has played 79 times for the Whites since making his debut in 2018 and was a key part of the squad which gained promotion to the Premier League as champions in the 2019-20 season.

Since United reached the top-flight, Shackleton has made 27 appearances throughout the last two seasons.

The Leeds-born player has become the second United player to join the Lions on loan following on from their capture of England under-21 central defender Charlie Cresswell, who joined on a season-long loan earlier this month.

Shackleton, who was left out of Jesse Marsch’s squad for Leeds' pre-season tour of Australia, had been linked with moves to other Championship clubs, including Reading.

But Millwall have won the race to sign the former England under-20 player, who made his first-team bow in a 4-1 win over Derby in August 2018.

The London club are understood to be covering a large proportion of the wages of Shackleton.

Should the move go well, the deal could be turned into a permanent arrangement.

Several other squad players have left Leeds for pastures new so far this summer.

Striker Tyler Roberts has linked up with QPR and left-sided player Liam McCarron has joined Stoke City on a permanent deal.
