Since Marcelo Bielsa’s arrival in Yorkshire, Leeds’ hierarchy have given special attention to developing their young talents and Patterson could earn a spot in the academy if he impresses enough during trials.
The Northern Irish teenager is being put through his paces, during which all assets of his game will be analysed at close quarters.
Patterson is part of Northern Ireland’s elite football programme, the same programme that also helped in the development of current Leeds Under-23s starlet Charlie Allen.
