00:00Leeds United have confirmed their second signing of the summer so far,

00:05bringing in Jacar Biol from Udinese in Italy, ahead of the new season.

00:11Yeah, a big day for me, for sure.

00:13A big day for me, for my family, and I'm happy to be here.

00:16So, what do you know about the club that you've joined?

00:19What do you know about Leeds United?

00:22I watched Premier League through the years, for sure.

00:25It's been ups and downs in the last years,

00:27with some Premier League, some Championship.

00:28Next year, we are ready again for Premier League,

00:31and let's hope for the best.

00:32Did you see any of the games when Leeds got themselves out of the Championship

00:36at the end of last season?

00:38I watched maybe two at the end of the season a little bit.

00:42I saw a little bit of photos of the parade and everything,

00:45and really nice images, really nice things,

00:49and you enjoyed it a lot last year,

00:51and I hope we enjoyed it together next year as well.

00:55Yeah, when you watched the parade,

00:57and all those people had come out in the City Centre,

00:59did that give you a sense,

01:01when you knew there was interest from Leeds United,

01:03in what you might be walking into?

01:06Yeah, for sure.

01:07For sure, it gives you some goosebumps as well.

01:10And Bradford City's spending spree this summer has continued,

01:14as Stephen Humphreys has now joined the Bantams.

01:17Yeah, absolutely delighted.

01:20Such a massive club.

01:22I consider it a sleeping giant, really,

01:24so to get it done so early as well,

01:27before pre-season starts,

01:29delighted, yeah.

01:30I just wanted to get it all sorted.

01:32I don't want to miss any pre-season.

01:34Last season, I ended up signing for Barnsley on deadline day,

01:37and I was feeling it for the first few months of the season,

01:41so there'll be none of that this season,

01:42and I'll be ready to go.

01:43So, you mentioned the size of the club there.

01:45Did it take much convincing to sign?

01:47Not really, no.

01:48It was, I think everyone saw the scenes last season.

01:52Last day of the season, obviously, got promoted,

01:55so just seeing that,

01:56I wanted to be a big part of it for this season,

01:58and hopefully we can create more memories like that.

02:01And that's it, isn't it?

02:01When you have an end to a season like that,

02:03it gives you the perfect platform to build on that momentum

02:05going into the next year.

02:07Yeah, exactly that.

02:08I think the club's on the up.

02:10Definitely the owners and the manager want to go again.

02:13We want to get promoted again.
