Harry Christy has signed a new one-year contract with Leeds United, the club has revealed.
The 20-year-old has agreed to a contract that will keep him at Elland Road until at least the summer of 2025.
Leeds Live (8 July) had stated that the Whites intended to promote the Englishman to third-choice goalkeeper for next season.
After Kristoffer Klaesson’s move to Rakow Czestochowa was confirmed, a berth became available for Christy ahead of the next campaign.

The goalkeeper has made numerous appearances for Leeds Under 21s in Premier League 2 and has also been named to the FA Cup first team bench.
The 20-year-old, who was born in Thorp Arch, has progressed through the academy and has played for the u18s and 21s.
Klaesson was the Whites’ third choice last season, and now that he has confirmed his transfer to Poland, there is a vacuum in the roster.
Illan Meslier, who has been linked with Monaco and Marseille, could also decide to leave Elland Road this summer.
Christy might potentially become Daniel Farke’s number two option next season, trailing only the more experienced Karl Darlow.
Archie Gray already has a clear path to the first team for academy talents, and the goalkeeper might be Thorp Arch’s most recent production.
