On his return to Leeds, Passmoor said: “From my first discussion it was not going to take me long to say 'yes let’s get back to Leeds United', because I have got many happy memories here.

“This club is at the forefront of British and UK football, so to be part of that with the women’s team is really exciting. I am looking forward to working with the players and helping to take the side forward.”

Leeds will compete in the FA Women’s National League Division One North in the new season.
