Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has responded to Kalvin Phillips’ heartfelt farewell message, following confirmation that the midfielder will be leaving the club permanently. Phillips, who rose through the academy at Leeds, initially departed for Manchester City in 2022 but has now made his final goodbye official in a recent post on social media.
In the message, Phillips thanked the fans, the club, and his teammates for their support throughout his journey, calling Leeds “the club that made me.” The emotional farewell sparked a wave of reactions from fans and former teammates alike, with Patrick Bamford among those who publicly showed support.
Bamford took to Instagram to share Phillips’ post, adding a heartfelt comment: “Leeds legend. Brother for life.” The two players shared a close bond during their time at Elland Road, particularly under Marcelo Bielsa, when they helped Leeds earn promotion to the Premier League in 2020.
Phillips’ departure marks the end of an era for Leeds supporters, who had long hoped for his return. While his time at Manchester City was plagued by limited game time, his legacy at Leeds remains strong. Bamford’s reaction reflects the sentiment felt by many fans—gratitude and respect for a club hero.
