Pascal Struijk has vowed Leeds United will continue to ‘strive for more’ after Friday night’s draw with West Bromwich Albion.

Struijk posted the message onto his official Instagram account with the game against the Baggies a milestone appearance for the 24-year-old.

The Dutch centre-back was making his 100th appearance for Leeds with him now looking as assured as he ever has at the heart of defence.

Forming a partnership alongside new signing Joe Rodon, Leeds restricted West Brom to very little in the way of clear-cut chances throughout the 90 minutes on Friday.

In fact, the only way Leeds were breached at Elland Road was due to a really poor refereeing decision, with Brandon Thomas-Asante clearly diverting the ball into the net with his hand.

Leeds are still yet to earn their first win of the season having now played three Championship matches, but Struijk has insisted they will continue to fight to improve.

He said: “We strive for more.”

Daniel Farke warned that it would a bumpy start to the season and given how short the squad is at the moment, the performance against West Brom was promising.

Leeds were able to name just seven substitutes at Elland Road, two of which were goalkeepers, but were largely the better side against one of the most fancied sides in the division for promotion.

Once some signings are through the door, it does feel like Leeds really do have some positive foundations that can be built on.
