Sources: Leeds midfielder Stevens agrees to join Barrow
Leeds United midfielder Jordan Stevens has agreed to join Barrow, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.
The 21-year-old is well down the pecking order at Leeds and they have given the green light to him leaving on deadline day.
A Leeds source has told Football Insider that League Two outfit Barrow have agreed to sign Stevens on loan.
The North-west outfit have beaten a number of EFL clubs to a deal for the rising star.
Stevens played for Barrow manager Mark Cooper when he was in charge of Forest Green.
The midfielder joined Rovers at a young age and progressed through their youth ranks, signing his first professional deal in September 2017.
He made 15 appearances for the club and scored one goal before moving to Leeds.
He joined the Whites in February 2018 and has so far made five appearances for the club.
Four of those came in the Championship during the 2019-20 season as Marcelo Bielsa led the club to the title.
Stevens has spent the majority of his time at Leeds out on loan.
He made 16 appearances for Swindon Town during the first half of last season.
He then moved to Bradford City for the remainder of the campaign and made eight appearances.
Stevens is now set to join his former boss at Barrow as they look to improve their fortunes.
The Bluebirds have only won one league game this season and sit 18th in League One.
