'We have to do it this year'

On the latest episode of the My Mate's A Footballer podcast on BBC Sounds, Leeds striker Patrick Bamford spoke on the club's ambitions for the 2024-25 season.

"After last year, I think everyone knows that we have to do it [win promotion]," said Bamford. "We feel like there's more impetus for us to do it.

"Every time that I've been in a team when we haven't gone up, we've done it the next year. Hopefully that's a good omen!"

On player departures this summer, he added: "Especially with Stuart Dallas and Liam Cooper, the older heads in the group, losing them was a big thing. Our group is a young group and you do need that experience.

"The players we've signed have to be a good fit. We've signed Joe Rothwell who is a really good guy who's fitted in well."
