Full-back Taylor agrees terms of Leeds transfer – BBC
By Alex Stevens
Leeds right-back Michael Taylor has agreed a loan move to non-league side Guiseley, according to a report.
BBC Radio Leeds’ Twitter account West Yorkshire Sport claimed on Thursday afternoon that the 19-year-old has signed for the National League outfit until the end of the season.
There has been no official confirmation from either club about the deal for the right-sided defender, who graduated from the Leeds academy last summer.
But the report comes after Leeds announced earlier in the day that Taylor’s fellow Elland Road academy product Alex Purver, 21, had re-joined Guiseley on a loan deal that runs until 29 April.
Taylor penned his first professional contract with Leeds last June as he put pen to paper on a one-year agreement after completing a two-year academy scholarship.
Taylor, who has yet to make a first-team appearance for Leeds, moved to Elland Road from Everton in the summer of 2014 alongside fellow youngster Tom Pearce.
He was one of a number of youngsters at the club to turn professional last summer including Ronaldo Vieria, who has subsequently established himself as a key member of the senior team chasing promotion to the Premier League.
Like his namesake and fellow full-back Charlie Taylor, Michael is out of contract at Leeds at the end of the season and, given that he has not yet been involved in the senior set-up, his future is in doubt.
