The 31-year-old Scotland international joined the Whites from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2018, and was part of Marcelo Bielsa’s historic Championship winning side last campaign.

Indeed, the left back’s departure prompted an open letter written by Whites head honcho Victor Orta, evoking a strong and passionate reaction from Leeds United fans.
