'First team beckons kid', 'Stardom awaits' - Fans react to Leeds rookie Twitter post after display
By Richard Parks
Leeds United fans took to Twitter to hail Jack Clarke after he posted his delight on Twitter at the Under-23s win against Cardiff City on Friday.
The forward, 17, tormented the visitors defence in the development side match at Thorp Arch and created both of Leeds' first two goals in their 3-0 triumph.
Clarke subsequently took to his personal Twitter account to say it was "great" to help the team secure their fourth consecutive victory.
The teenager, who signed a professional contract with Leeds on his birthday last November, provided the assists for both Sam Dalby and Clarke Odour's goals as he thrived on the left side of the attack.
Clarke's Under-23s teammate Huffer, who did not play in the match after pulling out of the England Under-19s squad last week due to injury, noted how the wide ace how made life a misery for his immediate Cardiff right-back opponent.
Many United fans are calling for Paul Heckingbottom to fast-track Clarke into the senior XI following recent promotions for fellow academy products Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Tom Pearce.
They are convinced the "first team beckons" for the youngster and that "stardom awaits" him.
Here is a selection of their messages on Twitter:
