“No other players will be leaving the club on loan now until January at the earliest,” he said.

Leeds head coach Steve Evans has been open about his interest in Lafferty in recent weeks. On Thursday, he said: “He’s done terrifically well for Northern Ireland and I have placed a call in to Alex Neil to see what the situation is.

“Kyle needs to be playing.”
