Luke Ayling believes youngster Leo Hjelde handled himself well on his full Leeds United debut.

The 18-year-old defender arrived at Elland Road in the summer from Celtic, penning a four-year deal to end a lengthy pursuit of his services by sporting director Victor Orta.

A Norwegian international at youth level, Hjelde boasts a wealth of experience in the academy ranks and in the Scottish Premiership having spent time on loan at Ross County.
