Bailey Peacock-Farrell

After Bielsa publicly revealed that Peacock-Farrell would have been dropped the following match had Blackman not been injured, Peacock-Farrell became the match winner on 27 November, saving a 90th-minute penalty against Reading to help Leeds to a 1–0 win.

The match finished a 1–1 draw, in which he conceded an 87th-minute penalty kick.

Peacock-Farrell signed a new two-year contract at Leeds on 9 June.

In October, he was ruled out with injury, after surgery on a broken hand.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell (born 29 October 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Danish Superliga club AGF, on loan from club Burnley.

Born and raised in England, he plays international football for Northern Ireland.

He started his career in Middlesbrough's youth system in 2006 before being released in 2013, when the club chose not to offer him a scholarship.

Peacock-Farrell played in Middlesbrough's youth system before signing for Leeds United in 2013.

He signed his first professional contract in June 2015 and made his first-team debut in April 2016.

He joined Leeds United shortly after and signed his first professional contract with the club in June 2015.

Following Marco Silvestri's dismissal in an away match against Rotherham United on 2 April 2016, Peacock-Farrell made his first-team debut in a Championship match at home to Queens Park Rangers on 5 April.

He went on loan to National League North club York City in October 2017.

Peacock-Farrell broke into the Leeds first team late into the 2017–18 season and made his debut for the Northern Ireland national team in May 2018.

Peacock-Farrell signed a new three-year contract at Leeds on 9 July 2017.

He joined League One club Oldham Athletic on trial for the beginning of pre-season with the view to a season-long loan move, although Oldham decided not to take up the option.

He returned to pre-season with Leeds, competing with Andy Lonergan and Felix Wiedwald.

Peacock-Farrell joined National League North club York City on 12 October on a one-month loan.

He made his debut two days later in a 2–2 draw away to Leamington.

He made four appearances for York, in which he conceded nine goals, returning to Leeds once the loan expired.

He retained his place in the team for the following matches and became Leeds' first-choice goalkeeper for the remainder of the 2017–18 season.

He put in several man-of-the-match performances, including a 1–0 defeat against Aston Villa, after which Dan Long of Sky Sports wrote that Peacock-Farrell "looks incredibly assured between the sticks, particularly astounding given his age".

In May, Peacock-Farrell won the Young Player of the Year award at Leeds' annual award ceremony.

He finished the season with 11 appearances for Leeds as they finished in 13th place in the 2017–18 Championship.

He started the 2018–19 season as Leeds' first-choice goalkeeper before losing his place to Kiko Casilla in January 2019.

Peacock-Farrell joined Swedish Superettan club Landskrona BoIS on a three-day trial in January 2018.

After training and playing an internal friendly match for the team, Landskrona decided not to sign him.

Nearly two years after making his debut, Peacock-Farrell played his second match for Leeds on 7 March 2018 at home to league leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers, with first-choice goalkeeper Wiedwald dropped due to poor form.

Leeds lost 3–0, but Peacock-Farrell received the man-of-the-match award for his performance.

After beating off competition from new signing Jamal Blackman, Peacock-Farrell started the 2018–19 season in goal under new head coach Marcelo Bielsa.

His understudy Blackman returned to parent club Chelsea with an injury in November, leaving Peacock-Farrell as Leeds' only senior goalkeeper.

Leeds qualified for the play-offs with a third-place finish in the 2018–19 Championship, and Peacock-Farrell was an unused substitute in both legs of the semi-final as Leeds were beaten 4–3 on aggregated by Derby County.

During the 2018–19 season, Peacock-Farrell made 29 appearances in all competitions.

Peacock-Farrell signed for Premier League club Burnley in August 2019.

He spent the 2021–22 on loan at League One club Sheffield Wednesday.

Peacock-Farrell was born in Darlington, County Durham.

Leeds signed goalkeeper Kiko Casilla from Real Madrid on 17 January 2019 to compete with Peacock-Farrell for a starting place.

He dropped to the bench against Rotherham United on 26 January, with Casilla establishing himself as the club's first-choice goalkeeper.

Bielsa stated that he believed that taking Peacock-Farrell out of first-team action would help his development.

However, he did return for a single match later in the season on 30 March, for the suspended Casilla, in a 3–2 home win over Millwall.

In June 2019, Peacock-Farrell revealed he had turned down the option of starting pre-season training a week later after featuring on international duty for Northern Ireland, in order to compete for the goalkeeping position with Casilla.
