21-year-old Republic of Ireland starlet Alan Sheehan returned to Leeds United today, signing a three year contract, and confirmed he was never in any doubt as to where his future lay.
The former Leicester City left-back turned down the offer of a new contract with the Foxes in favour of making his loan move to United permanent, and admitted the prospect of joining the Whites was impossible to refuse.
'I agreed a couple of weeks ago and I'm delighted,' he explained. 'From the minute I came I've been made to feel at home. I had a few options - there were a few clubs interested in me - but from the minute I worked with Gary McAllister and Steve Staunton I knew I wanted to come and work with them. It's a chance for me to improve myself as a player.'
'From November to January we were discussing a contract and Leicester offered me another in the summer. But ever since I came to Leeds I knew I didn't want to be there. The fans are great here and it's a great club with so much to offer. There's a good feeling about the place here. There's some good players here and I just feel Leeds is a club on the up again.'
