Beckford happy at Leeds

Leeds United hitman Jermaine Beckford is happy to lead the clubs fight for the League One title next season, according to his agent Nick Rubery.

Beckford, who became the first Leeds player to score 20 league goals in a season since 2003, is sure to be the subject of intense transfer speculation following the clubs failure to gain promotion back to the Championship at Wembley last weekend.

However, any thoughts that the 24 year old ex-Wealdstone striker might want to jump ship are apparently wide of the mark. 'Jermaine won't be walking into Leeds United and asking for a transfer,' confirmed Rubery. 'He's got two years left on his contract and he's very settled in Leeds.'

'He's very down after Sunday because it was a chance for him and the club to move to a higher level, but that's football. If Leeds accept an offer from another club then we'd have to consider it, but that's up to the club to decide. Jermaine won't be making any demands, and at the moment he's just getting over Sunday's game. He's happy at Leeds.'
