    Johnson has scored 17 goals in his Leeds career

    Bradley Johnson looks to have played his last game for Leeds United.

    The midfielder, 24, has turned down a new deal at Elland Road and according to his agent has received other offers, including two from the Premier League.

    Manager Simon Grayson told the club website: “It’s disappointing but it looks like Bradley won’t be re-signing.

    “This is a situation we wanted resolving as a club because we are looking ahead to next season. We felt we made the player a suitable offer.”

    Grayson added: “I’d like to thank Bradley for his contribution while I’ve been here, but the contractual situation that we work in nowadays means that players have the ability to make choices such as this.”

    Johnson joined Leeds from Northampton Town for an undisclosed fee in January 2008 and went on to make 24 appearances that season.

    He found first-team opportunities limited during his first full season and joined Brighton on loan.

    But after the sacking of Gary McAllister as Leeds manager in December 2008, Johnson established himself as a regular under new boss Grayson.

    Last season he made a total of 44 appearances for the club as they narrowly missed out on the Championship play-offs.
