A number of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to comment on their first proper glimpse of Joe Gelhardt playing for the Whites as the youngster featured in the under-23s’ defeat to Stoke City on Monday night.

There has been a lot of excitement surrounding Gelhardt following his summer switch to Elland Road.

He had made a number of appearances for Wigan Athletic’s first-team last season. And, as reported by Leeds Live, the Whites beat a number of Premier League rivals to land Gelhardt.

On paper, it would appear to be an extremely disappointing night for the 18-year-old. He saw his penalty saved as Leeds were beaten by the Potters in Mark Jackson’s first game in charge.

However, Gelhardt seemed to impress a number of supporters on social media.

He looked exciting on the ball, producing some superb runs. It was his dance into the box that saw Leeds win the penalty that was saved during the first-half.

And plenty of supporters now seem confident that it may not be too long before the teenager gets the chance to make his first-team debut.

They are incredibly excited about his potential after his standout display. And they clearly feel that the deal to bring him in in the summer will quickly look like a masterstroke.
