Leeds United have completed a deal for who joins his hometown club on a three-year contract.

The talented 17-year-old was born in Leeds but has come through the Manchester United academy, while also featuring for Serbia’s Under-19s aged just 16 last September.

Able to play as a main striker, Ibrovic-Fletcher is an attacking midfielder who developed a good reputation in Manchester and on the international scene at Under-16, under-17 and now under-19s level for Serbia.

The teenager will link up with Scott Gardner's Under-21s side at Thorp Arch, with the hope of making the transition to the first team before his new contract concludes.

Leeds confirmed the signing in a brief statement, saying; "Leeds United are pleased to announce the signing of Edward Ibrovic-Fletcher, who joins the club’s Academy from Manchester United.

"The Leeds-born attacking midfielder returns to his home city and has signed a deal that will keep him at Thorp Arch until 2028. A versatile player also capable of featuring across the front line, Ibrovic-Fletcher has been capped by Serbia at youth level.

"Everyone at Leeds United would like to welcome Edward to the club and we look forward to seeing his development at Thorp Arch, where he will link up with Scott Gardner’s U21s."
