Leeds United have secured the services of Oxford United’s chief scout Craig Dean.

The Championship outfit are looking to improve their recruitment at youth level and bringing in Craig Dean will make a massive difference.

Dean has proven his pedigree at Oxford and he will be looking to make a similar impression at Elland Road now. He has worked with the FA and Newcastle United in the past. He was Newcastle’s head of football development between 2007 and 2013.

The new Leeds appointment’s duty will be to secure the best young talents between the ages of 17 and 21.
