Leeds United defender Joe Rodon says joining the club on a permanent deal “felt right”.
The 26-year-old completed a move to the Whites, believed to be worth about £10m, from Tottenham on the same day academy graduate Archie Gray went the other way.
Despite reported interest from Premier League sides, the Wales international decided to make the switch to the club he spent last season on loan with, having featured 50 times across all competitions.
“Being respectful to everyone, I just felt like I belonged here,” Rodon told BBC Radio Leeds.
“Looking forward to the next years I just felt that Leeds was the place for me and the way it ended last season, it just doesn’t sit right with me. I feel like coming back and knowing the team we had last year was so close [to promotion], coming back was the move for me and it felt right.
“Everyone knows the first time I walked through the doors here, everyone has been brilliant with me since day one.
“I don’t want to go too much into it, everyone knows Leeds is a massive club and I felt that when I arrived. The connection, the fans, the club, players and staff – it just felt right and hopefully there are bigger things to come.”
