Leeds United Under-18 coach Richard Naylor has been handed a new contract with the Championship outfit.

The 36-year-old, who retired from the game last summer, made 70 appearances for Leeds between 2009 and 2011.

"I'm really pleased. It's something I wanted to get sorted as soon as possible and now I'm just looking forward to getting cracking again next season," he told the club's official website.

"There's a history of the club producing players and that is something that has been focused on in recent years and we're really concentrating on getting local lads in.

"There's nothing more satisfying for the Leeds fans, myself included, than seeing a local lad make his debut and go on and do great things."

Naylor secured the title with the Under-18s last season.
