Leeds United defender Scott Wootton has signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2017.

Wootton, 23, joined Leeds from Manchester United in August 2013.

He spent time on loan at the club's Yorkshire rivals Rotherham earlier this season, making seven appearances for the Championship strugglers.

He has been an ever-present for Neil Redfearn's side since returning to Elland Road in January, helping them to five wins from their last seven games.
