York City boss Adam Hinshelwood has praised Leeds United talent Luca Thomas for showing his ice cold nerves to take his goal against Ebbsfleet United.

 

Leeds brought in the 20-year-old attacker from Manchester City in 2021 and Thomas has been a prolific goalscorer for the Whites youth sides.

 

Thomas joined National League side York City on a short-term loan last week and scored an injury-time goal in his debut game at the weekend against Ebbsfleet.

 

 

The winger put in a good performance after coming on as a substitute and Hinshelwood stated that Thomas’ goal in the 96th was an excellent strike.

 

He also pointed out that Thomas managed to navigate through a tight area with his good decision making and added that he showed ice-cold nerves like a good striker to put the ball in the back of the net.

 

 

“Some of the goals were excellent; Luca’s one in particular”, Hinshelwood told York City’s media.

 

“A bit of a tight area playing in front of him and then it opened up with good decisions and a good striker seems ice cold when it matters and he definitely was today.”

 

 

Thomas has yet to make a senior appearance for Leeds and he will be hoping to impress during his short loan spell to attract the attention of Daniel Farke.
