Byram has been fantastic

Bridges spoke about the 30-year-old Leeds defender.

“Junior Firpo, you consider he’s been out for a long time and he hasn’t had a good run in the team, he’s come in and had a good performance, but you don’t want to overdo him again and for him to break down. Sam Byram, since he’s come in this season it’s like he’s never been away, he’s looked absolutely magnificent,” Brid💝ges said.

Right at home

Byram has been fantastic for Leeds this season, and he has slotted in as though he’d never been away.

It’s hard for any new signing to arrive at a new club, but it’s so much easier when you’re already familiar with your surroundings, and Byram does look right at home at Leeds.

The fans love him, he knows the manager from hꦺis time at Norwich and everything appears to be clicking for him right now.

Leeds fans have known for years just how good Byram can be when he avoids injury, and now, we’re finally seeing that for💙 the first time in a long time.

Byram’s rebirth at𓄧 Leeds this term has been a joy to watch, and long may it continuဣe.
