00:00Leeds United winger Dan James has said that he is very pleased to have signed a new contract at the club
00:06that will keep him at Elland Road as Leeds United return to the Premier League this upcoming season.
00:12He said he's also happy to get it done so early on.
00:15Obviously very pleased. It's a massive day for me and my family.
00:17I'm glad it's been done so early in pre-season and it's nice to settle now and just excited for the future.
00:24To top it off to win the league with 100 points was unbelievable.
00:28A massive achievement for the club and it was just great to be a part of that and to share their memories with the fans.
00:34That day, that parade was one of the best days of my life.
00:37I think the next day was a little bit depressing going back to the real world.
00:42I think for us, the fans, it was so nice to experience that, especially after the year before when we got so close.
00:50This felt a little bit better just because of that and to win the league on the last day was just unbelievable.
00:55And here we are now.
00:58I was good to miss the last day and, you know, to experience that game as a fan was different.
01:05Not being able to affect it on the pitch, it was, you know, I felt, you know, very different.
01:09But to celebrate it full time and with the fans, you know, I can't really explain the feeling.
01:14And Bradford City manager Graham Alexander has revealed that they are trying to establish a leadership group at the Bantams ahead of the League One campaign.
01:23Yeah, I think it's important for us to sort of establish a senior group that can lead the whole squad.
01:32I think, you know, it's never been a one-man job in my opinion.
01:38I think the squad and the role are too big.
01:42So I think it's important in my own time as a captain and Chris's, we were surrounded by good leaders as well.
01:49You know, weren't just the one for the armband.
01:51So I just want to make sure everyone knows who I believe can sort of spread their influence on the team and the squad.
02:00And we've had four hearts of football, four different captains, and they're all leaders in their own way.
02:05Obviously, heading into Osheria now next week, how much are you looking forward to that challenge and that kind of tough pre-season?
02:09Yeah, look, I think, you know, I think it's just we have to step up each week and we've tried to do that.
