YOUNG Leeds United forward Sonny Perkins has been handed a second chance to impress at a League One club – after linking up with Leyton Orient on loan for the forthcoming 2024-25 campaign.

With the former West Ham player, 20, about to enter the final year of his contract at Elland Road in a matter of days, it is likely that he could well have played his final game for the club. Perkins started his career in the academy at Orient before joining the Hammers. Last August, Perkins was loaned out to third-tier side Oxford United – now in the Championship – for the 2023-24 season, but struggled for opportunities with the U’s.

Perkins was unable to head back out on loan in the winter window after coming on as a late substitute in United’s opening game of the 23-24 season against Cardiff City – with rules stipulating that players can only appear for two clubs in the same campaign. In the previous year, the striker made three senior appearances for Leeds in 2022-23, all as a substitute in cup competitions.
