Robert Snodgrass was signed for Leeds by former manager Gary McAllister.

Leeds United striker Robert Snodgrass has pledged his future to the club until 2013 after signing a new four-year contract.

The 21-year-old former Livingstone forward was a key player for United last season making 34 appearances scoring 11 goals.

"I am delighted to get it done," Snodgrass told the club's website.

"I had no worries because I had two years left and was happy here, but it's great to sign a new contract."

He added: "It's been great since I came down here last summer and I really love the club.

"From the fans to the back-room staff and the other players, it's a great place to be and hopefully I can repay the faith that's been shown in me."

Leeds United are believed to be close to making a fifth summer signing with Liverpool winger Adam Hammill understood to be a target.

Barnsley have had a bid accepted for the 21-year-old midfielder who had a loan spell at Oakwell last season.

Hammill also had a successful loan period at Blackpool when current Leeds manager Simon Grayson was in charge at Bloomfield Road.
