Wilks is rated as one of Leeds’ brightest young talents and could be given a chance next season. Marcelo Bielsa, who famously rewards youngsters with first-team opportunities, cannot ignore Wilks’ progress over the course of this season.

It has been a productive loan stint at The Keepmoat Stadium and yesterday’s goal was scored in typical fashion. Wilks beat his marker for pace, cut inside and drilled a powerful shot inside the near post.

Fans from both Leeds and Doncaster took to Twitter after the game to hail Wilks’ latest performance. Here are the best tweets.
