Joël Piroe & Georginio Rutter: Double Trouble for Championship Defences

“I feel well settled. The team and the club all helped me really well to settle in. It was a big decision for myself, I think it was a moment to try and make a big step.”

Those the words of Joël Piroe, the latest addition to Leeds United’s cache of attacking talent after his summer move from Swansea City. If there were to be any questions on the length of any settling-in period, initial performances in the white shirt emphatically put those to rest.

In his first 11 outings for the Whites, Piroe has scored five goals and registered one assist. Those five goals – a typically predatory strike in the win at high-flying Ipswich, a well-taken brace in a 3-0 victory at Millwall, the timely opener in the 3-0 demolition of Watford and a driven 20-yard strike against Bristol City – sees the forward average a goal just over every 180 minutes.
