Jayden Bogle's first words after signing new Leeds United contract - “It was an easy one for me"

The Leeds United defender put pen to paper on a new deal running until 2030 on Thursday.

Leeds United full-back Jayden Bogle admits the decision to sign a new four-year contract at Elland Road was ‘an easy one’.

Bogle put pen to paper on the new deal on Thursday and will remain at Elland Road until 2030. He follows Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu in committing to the next four-year cycle at Leeds this summer.

The 26-year-old has been virtually ever-present at Leeds since joining in a £5million deal from Sheffield United two years ago. In that time, he’s been part of a Championship title-winning side before contributing to last season’s 14th-place Premier League finish.

Leeds have ambitions to keep climbing the table and eventually begin to challenge for European football. And for Bogle the decision to be part of that project was simple.

“It was an easy one for me,” he told LUTV. “A lot of different emotions. Proud - I had a bit of time to reflect on how the journey has gone so far. It has been special.

“Something that you dream of when you are a kid is playing in an atmosphere like this, competing in the best league in the world. So far, it has been amazing.

“I think I said when I first signed, you can feel the winning feeling around the place and how much the club wants to achieve. This club has been in special places in the past and I think everyone has got the ambition to get back to there.”

Bogle’s contract is the latest piece of good news to come out of Leeds within 24 hours. The whites signed Swiss international defender Nico Elvedi in a deal worth up to £8.5m on Wednesday, with Rodon’s new deal coming a few hours later.

“I think you can feel the vibe around the place,” Bogle added. “Everyone is really excited. The fans, the players, the staff, everyone associated with the club can feel there is a good vibe around the place.

“The ambition from the club feeds all the way through to the players, to the staff and the fans. So, I think everyone is on the right path and it is something I really wanted to be a part of.

“There are so many elements that contribute into you making a decision. Are you happy? Are you enjoying where you are? I am. My family love it here.

“Again, the atmosphere that this place brings and the vibes around the place is amazing. You want to be assured that the club is at the same level of ambition that you have.”
