The under–23s replaced the club's under–21 team in 2016, which had replaced the reserve team in 2012 following the English game's reform of the youth football and the introduction of the Elite Player Performance Plan. The club was initially awarded Category Two status but upgraded to Category One in 2020.[2] The team is currently managed by Michael Skubala and competes in the Premier League 2 and the Football League Trophy.

Leeds United Football Club Under–18s are the academy's junior side and compete in the U18 Premier League and the FA Youth Cup. The team is managed by another former Academy graduate Scott Gardner.

The academy itself is overseen by Manager Adam Underwood, who joined the club in 2017 and helped to secure Category One status three years later.

The Leeds United u23's team won the PDL Cup in 2019 after beating Birmingham City u23's at Elland Road after a tense penalty shootout.


Current players


For the 2022–23 season onwards, player eligibility is restricted to under-21 players (reduced from under-23) born after 1 January 2001. To help with the transition, teams were allowed up to five over-age outfield players (up from three) and one over-age goalkeeper. Only players born after 1 January 2004 (primarily scholars), are eligible to play for the Under 18s. Italics denotes player has received a call up to the squad but did not or has yet to receive a cap at that level.
