Luke Ayling Leaves Leeds United for Middlesbrough on Loan
The move ends Ayling's seven-and-a-half year spell at Leeds United, where he made 268 first-team appearances and helped the team secure a promotion to the Premier League in 2020.
- Luke Ayling, the right-back from Leeds United, is set to join Middlesbrough on a six-month loan.
- Ayling has been with Leeds United for seven-and-a-half years, during which he made 268 first-team appearances and played a key role in their promotion to the Premier League in 2020.
- This season, Ayling has fallen out of favour at Leeds under boss Daniel Farke, starting just eight of the side’s 26 Championship matches.
- Ayling's last league start was on October 4 against Queens Park Rangers and he has not featured in the division since the victory at Leicester City on November 3.
- Ayling is out of contract at the end of the season at Leeds so would be a free agent at the end of his loan.
