Larry Nance Jr. Revealed as Part of Leeds United Ownership Group
Who is Larry Nance Jr.?
Larry Nance Jr. revealed his interest in Leeds United through a public tweet just yesterday. The NBA pro is looking to invest in ventures across the world, finding himself as a part of the conglomerate that now owns the club. Nance has been a solid player for the New Orleans Pelicans, but at the age of 30 is likely looking for new income avenues.
What Does This Mean For The Club?
Such a public declaration of interest in the club is sure to be encouraging for fans. With international investors putting a lot of time and attention into the Yorkshire side, the Whites can see a clear distinction between the new owners and Andrea Radrizzani, who is moving towards buying Sampdoria.
Elland Road needs to see a lot of investment and decision-making in order to be ready for the Championship season. Active and excited investors are sure to bring in a new era at the club.
Larry Nance Jr.’s Leeds United Involvement
Whilst the player hasn’t had the chance to be involved in depth at the club just yet, he is already taking steps to be a part of the community. A donation of £2,500 in a fundraiser by a group of fans is an immediate show of intent to support the local area and causes that people care about.
Good ownership can be transformative for any club, and the new group is taking positive steps without even being officially in charge yet.
