Sky Sports understands defender Tom Lees has signed a new four-year deal at Leeds United.
Lees has been rewarded for his progress at Elland Road with a new long-term contract to keep him at the club until 2016.
The 21-year-old established himself as a first-team regular this season after spending the past two campaigns on loan at Accrington Stanley and Bury.
Lees has impressed Whites boss Neil Warnock and he made it one of his top priorities this summer to tie down the versatile defender to a new contract.
Lees made 44 appearances for Leeds in all competitions last season and he was named the club's young player of the year.
