Iron extend Rory Mahady's loan spell for the remainder of the 2025-26 season

Scunthorpe United is delighted to confirm the extension of Leeds United goalkeeper Rory Mahady's loan with the club until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old originally joined the club in October to play in the 3-1 victory over York City, with then-on-loan shot stopper Rory Watson ineligible to face his former club. Coming into the building a day prior to the match, Mahady impressed in the game at the LNER Community Stadium on what was his professional debut, proving himself worthy of a month's loan extension that has been extended several times since.

Starting his career in his native Scotland with Celtic, he would be snapped up by the Yorkshire-based side in 2022 and quickly became one of the Whites' highly tipped prospects, which was reflected in him signing a new three-year deal this summer.

Over the course of his spell with the Iron so far, Mahady has more than impressed between the sticks, making 14 appearances across all competitions and keeping three clean sheets in that time, an impressive return accompanied by several outstanding performances, leaving United with little choice but to try and secure his services until the end of the season.
