Grella's The Fella For Leeds

Last updated : 13 August 2009 By Kevin Markey
The 22-year-old American forward was on an 18-month deal, completed in January, after impressing while on trial at Elland Road, but has been rewarded with a longer contract after impressing in pre-season and then in the Carling Cup tie at Darlington when he was man of the match.

Grella has still to score for Leeds in a senior match, although he did score in the pre-season friendly at Burnley.

He said: "I'm absolutely delighted to have signed the deal. It is good to know that the club have instilled a bit of belief and confidence in me. I want to be part of the group and play as big a part as I possibly can in getting Leeds promoted so we'll have to wait to see how it plays out."
