Speaking to Leeds United’s official website, Chadwick said: “It feels amazing, obviously, to sign a new contract with my club.

“This is the club that I have loved my whole life and I have been at for so many years. I am so grateful.

“More of a player that people will look up to”

“I am so grateful for all the coaches that have coached me throughout the whole of my career at Leeds. Hopefully, now I can carry on and keep progressing.

“I would say I have developed quite well here, I have become more of a man, more of a player that people will look up to as more experienced. I am really grateful for all the first-team opportunities and pre-season was a very good experience.

“I will just keep pushing to try and get into one of the first team squads, keep pushing for first team places.”
