Leeds United have completed the signing of defender Leonard Ngenge, who will join the club's academy after agreeing a deal running until the end of the 2026-27 season.

The 18-year-old arrives in West Yorkshire from Nigeria, having made seven appearances in all competitions this season for Remo Stars FC. Despite being recruited initially for the academy setup, Ngenge already boasts senior international experience.

The centre-back has been capped twice by Nigeria, making his international debut against Senegal last year before also featuring in a match against Sudan.

Ngenge will now begin his development within Leeds' academy structure, as the club continues to identify and invest in emerging talent with the potential to progress through to the first team.
