Robinson confident Darlow has no Leeds regrets

Former Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson is confident Karl Darlow has no regrets over his move from Newcastle.

Darlow is now playing second fiddle behind Ilan Meslier.

"No I don't think he was promised anything," Robinson told MOT Leeds News. "I don't think he's been misled. You understand as a goalkeeper that nobody's guaranteed to play. You go in there as a number one or a number two and you know there's going to be competition for your place.

"He's an excellent goalkeeper, he's a proven goalkeeper. He's got great career stats if you look at him in the Championship, his experience is there. Nobody's guaranteed to play, you've got to earn the right to play. Whether he thought he was going to get more minutes or not is irrelevant now.

“If Leeds United are a team that are challenging at the top of the Championship and become a Premier League side there's a lot of people who want to be a part of that, it's not a bad bandwagon to be on."
