Former Leeds United star has joined Derby County on a free transfer

Leeds United have had some fan-favourite players over the years who were not particularly brilliant but more than made up for it by working their socks off for the club. The Whites have been in the second tier more than the Premier League in the last decade and even in the Championship, there have been some cult favourites who have continued to remain in the hearts of the supporters long after they left the club. One of those cult ex-Leeds players has found a new club in the Championship in the middle of the season.

Daniel Farke and his Leeds United players are pushing to ensure that they get back to the Premier League at the end of the season and are remaining focused on their job at hand.

Several players in the current Leeds squad are fan favourites and will remain on the lips of supporters long after they leave the club in the coming years.

Leeds supporters take a great affinity to players who are willing to work hard for players, just ask Gaetano Berardi, who was at the club during a low point but remains a fan-favourite to date.

One of those Leeds players has now his way back into the Championship and is again set to lace up their boots in the second tier of English football.

Kemar Roofe was a major fan-favourite at Leeds and was part of the team that lost the playoff semi-final tie in Marcelo Bielsa’s first season at Elland Road.

He is certainly not one of the best strikers to play for Leeds but his affinity to work hard for the team made him such a cult hero in the stands for the Whites.
