"Incredible" - Leeds United legend signs up for new Whites role as club work is hailed
A Leeds United legend has signed up for a new Whites role.
Whites legend Lucas Radebe has signed up for an important new off pitch Leeds United role after incredible work in the past year.
Radebe, who made 260 appearances for the Whites, has been made an official Ambassador for the club’s charitable wing, the Leeds United Foundation, joining current Ambassadors Ethan Ampadu, Eddie Gray, Tony Dorigo and Bridie Hannon.
Radebe is already a Leeds United Ambassador, first taking on that responsibility last season. The 57-year-old affectionately known as the Chief has supported the work of the club’s charity, visiting schools and programmes to spend time with those involved.
Frances Milner, CEO for Leeds United Foundation, told Leeds United’s official website: “We are delighted to recognise Leeds United Legend Lucas Radebe as an Ambassador for the Leeds United Foundation.
“Already made such a difference to so many”
“ Lucas's work with the Foundation over the past year and his ability to inspire young and old across our programmes has been incredible. His humility, kindness, and leadership in working with our beneficiaries has already made such a difference to so many.
“Lucas joins our current Ambassadors Ethan Ampadu, Eddie Gray, Tony Dorigo and Bridie Hannon, all of whom generously give their time to support the Foundation.
“We want to thank all of our ambassadors for everything they do each year to support our impactful work within the community and across the city.”
