Leeds fans have been praising Bailey Peacock-Farrell again after the youngster was called up to Northern Ireland’s U21s squad.

Peacock-Farrell did not have a flying start to his professional career. The 21 year-old goalkeeper had made just one league appearance for Leeds before his loan move to York City.

The 21 year-old also had trials with League One’s Oldham Athletic and Swedish Superettan club Landskrona BoIS, both of which decided not to take up the loan option for the youngster.

Things change very quickly in football though, and the young stopper has gone from a turbulent spell with York, to the Leeds first team, to an international call-up in the space of a few weeks.

The young stopper has been named as one of two keepers in Northern Ireland’s U21s squad for their upcoming friendlies, alongside Burnley’s Conor Mitchell.

Peacock-Farrell was thrown into the limelight in the 3-0 defeat to Wolves last week, thanks to Felix Wiedwald’s poor form and an injury to veteran Andy Lonergan. After a busy encounter with Wolves, he impressed again in the 2-2 draw at Reading on Saturday.

Leeds fans have been reacting to Peacock-Farrell’s call-up on Twitter. While he certainly still has a few doubters, most fans are delighted for the man they see as their long-term number one.
