† Appearances (goals)

Bailey Peacock-Farrell (born 29 October 1996) is a footballer who plays for Leeds United as a Goalkeeper.

Youth career

Peacock-Farrell joined the Middlesbrough youth academy before being released in 2013. He joined Leeds United as a scholar shortly after and signed his first professional contract with the Yorkshire side in the Summer of 2015.

First Team

Peacock-Farrell joined the first team in the 2015-16 campaign on a mid-season trip to Wycombe Wanderers in a friendly match during the November international break, replaced goalkeeper Marco Silvestri in the 87th minute in a 2-0 win. Following an injury to Ross Turnbull and the release of reserve goalkeeper Charlie Horton, who had returned the United States for personal reason, Peacock-Farrell was promoted to the first team squad for a league game away to Queens Park Rangers. He remained with the first team squad for the rest of the season as manager Steve Evans opted to show faith in the young Academy graduate rather than sign more experienced back-up. Following Silvestri's dismissal in an away game to Rotherham United in April 2016, Peacock-Farrell was handed his first team debut in the return fixture against QPR on the 6th April in a 1-1 draw.
