Leeds United and captain Ethan Ampadu have agreed terms on a new contract which ties him to the club until 2030, according to club chairman Paraag Marathe.Ampadu, 25, had one year remaining on his previous deal, but has been rewarded for leading the club to a stellar Premier League campaign.The Wales international played more than anyone else for Leeds en route to a 14th-place finish, which saw survival confirmed three matches before the season ended. As a leader on and off the pitch for the team, he is seen as a cornerstone the club had to build its future around.Marathe confirmed the news in a series of interviews on Thursday morning. He underlined how well Ampadu represents the club’s executives as well as the players on the pitch.“Ethan was so instrumental for our whole year, and he’s such a captain on and off the pitch,” said Marathe. “Everything he does is true leadership.“He’s almost like one of us on the pitch, but he’s also one of the guys and so we all thought it was such an important first step for this upcoming window.”Securing Ampadu’s future, after such an instrumental season, was considered an important first step this summer. Daniel Farke stands out as the other key figure with an uncertain future.The Leeds manager has one year remaining on his contract, but he left the door open to what his future might look like in a press conference last month. “Once I signed the contract three years ago, we spoke about the goals, what we want to achieve and my mission is fulfilled,” Farke said.
