Leeds United's newest addition Alex Cairns says he can't wait to help in whatever capacity he is required after signing for the club from Salford City.
Cairns re-joins the Whites nine years after departing and importantly is categorised by the EFL as a 'club-trained player' which mitigates for academy duo Jamie Shackleton and Charlie Cresswell's exits in recent days. In the EFL, clubs are required to name minimum of one 'club-developed player' and seven 'homegrown players' in their 25-man squad lists. Players under the age of 21 are not allowed to be named in the squad list, but can all be used at any point.
' Cairns only made one appearance for the Whites during his first stint having came through the academy setup at Thorp Arch and while he may not feature all that often under Daniel Farke, the experienced stopper appears to have acknowledged his role. 'For years I’ve looked on and seen the club make unbelievable strides and can’t wait to be apart of that. Now to get stuck in with the work and to help in whatever means necessary,' the 31-year-old added.
