Leeds teenager Jacob Render joins Darlington on loan, could make FA Cup bow this afternoon | OneFootball

Leeds United academy forward Jacob Render has joined Enterprise National League North club Darlington on a short-term youth loan.

The club said in a statement that the 18-year-old is eligible to feature after the deal was completed in time, and that he heads to the North East in search of additional first-team football, with his progress to be monitored.

Render has made seven appearances for Scott Gardner’s Under-21s this season, scoring against West Bromwich Albion in August’s Premier League 2.

He has also gained senior experience in the National League Cup against Boreham Wood and Solihull Moors.

Darlington visit Redcar Town in the Emirates FA Cup second qualifying round this afternoon, kick-off 12.30pm, and the striker could make his Quakers debut.
