Junior Firpo rejoins Betis after Leeds exit
Junior Firpo has rejoined Real Betis after leaving Leeds United as a free agent.
The 28-year-old previously spent five years at the Spanish club, progressing through their youth system and making 43 first-team appearances prior to joining Barcelona in 2019.
Firpo joined Leeds from Barcelona in 2021 in a €15million ($17m) deal and signed a four-year contract which expired this summer, despite attempts from the Premier League club to renew his stay following their promotion to the top flight.
The left-back helped Leeds to securing Premier League safety in his debut season, but could not prevent his side from suffering relegation in the following campaign.

A hamstring injury sidelined Firpo for six weeks spanning December and January, but the Dominican Republic international was otherwise a regular feature in Daniel Farke's side that earned automatic promotion by winning the Championship in 2024-25.
The Dominican Republic international scored four goals and providing 10 assists in 32 Championship appearances last season, and played 119 times games for Leeds across four campaigns.
Prior to his move to Elland Road, Firpo had played 41 matches across two seasons at Barcelona, whom he joined from Betis in 2019.
