Who Wouldn't Want To Play For Leeds United? - Sheehan

Last updated : 05 April 2008 By Kevin Markey
"Let's just say, 'who wouldn't want to play for Leeds United?'" says Sheehan in the YEP, who recently turned down the offer of a new contract at his parent club Leicester City.

"To be fair, we'll have to wait and see what happens. At the moment, everyone's aim is just to pick up points and get promoted, and that's what concerns me. Because, let's not joke about this, all of us are here to get promoted, that's the most important thing for everyone at the club. As far as my own future is concerned, I'm sure it will be sorted out soon enough.

"I turned down a contract at Leicester to come to Leeds and I'm really enjoying it here. The lads are brilliant, there's some superb players in the dressing room and we're determined to keep a good run going until the end of the season."
