Leeds signed McKinstry from Motherwell in the summer of 2019 and the teenager made his first team debut as a second-half substitute in last month's Carabao Cup clash at Fulham.

The game ended in a goalless draw and McKinstry held his nerve to convert an ice-cool spot kick as Leeds progressed with a 6-5 win on penalties.

McKinstry signed a new two-year deal at Leeds in the summer of 2020.
