In an interview with MOT Leeds News, former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson urged his former team to start talks in January in order to get Joe Rodon a permanent contract.
The Welshman is currently on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, who haven’t used him very often since his arrival from Swansea City back in 2020.
Doing enough to justify his move to Spurs during the Covid-19 pandemic, he hasn’t been able to force his way into the first team and become an integral figure in the English capital.
Spending last season on loan at Rennes, it was unclear whether he would get more game time now the club were managed by Ange Postecoglou.
Unfortunately for Rodon, the Australian decided the Wales international wouldn’t be a key part of his first-team plans with other options being preferred, and he was loaned out to Leeds who had just been relegated to the Championship at the time.
The center back has made 13 league appearances for the Whites and has shown himself to be a reliable player under Daniel Farke, so thus far, this move has shown to be a blessing.
With Spurs unable to call him back in January, Leeds’ supporters will be hoping Rodon can play a significant role in their possible promotion. The Whites want to return to the Premier League at the first opportunity.
