Rotherham captain Wood: One dodgy thing about Leeds loanee Hjelde

Rotherham United captain Richard Wood has lavished praise on Leeds United loanee Leo Hjelde.

The Norway defender is spending the second half of the season with Rotherham.

He has started five of their past six matches, with Wood joking that his dress sense is his only weakness at present.

He stated, per Leeds Live: “The only dodgy thing about Leo Hjelde is his dress sense. The young Norwegian has been a quality January loan addition for us at left-back.

"I watched our 2-1 win over Sunderland from the West Stand at New York Stadium and he was a stand-out performer.

"Amad Diallo has been unbelievable for the Black Cats this season, providing a lot of assists and scoring plenty of goals, but the winger was hardly in the game because Leo did so well against him."
