England striker Alan Smith has confirmed that he won't be the next big name to leave Leeds United, by pledging his whole career to the club.
The Leeds-born 22-year-old was dismayed to see the likes of Jonathan Woodgate and Harry Kewell leave Elland Road, but has vowed to stay with the club even if they are relegated.
"I've never once gone into the club and said that I wanted to leave Leeds," Smith told FourFourTwo.
"I discussed relegation with my mum, dad and girlfriend last season and said that no matter what happened, I wanted to stay.
"I think it's easy to for people to walk away when you've been relegated, but it takes a better type of person to stay and say we're all going to stick together and make sure the club gets back where it belongs.
"That would be my attitude. I'm from Leeds and I don't want to leave. I grew up here and this is where I want to play football."
