Huntington: 'I'd Rather Player For Leeds Than Toon Reserves'

Huntington: "I had another two years left at Newcastle but I didn't want to sit around and play for the reserves and just get the odd first-team game.

"I heard Leeds had put a bid in for me and I drove straight down to talk terms with the club. Leeds United were the right club for me. It's the right move, I'm confident about that.

 

"I didn't see a move coming this early, but it has happened and I've moved on. I found out on Friday afternoon, it was a late thing and it came about by surprise. I had to decide in a couple hours and I had to stay at the training ground in Newcastle until the manager gave it the go-ahead.

"Dennis Wise and (Leeds' assistant manager) Gus Poyet didn't have to sell it to me. I didn't really have to think about it. I like what they're trying to achieve here."
