Career

[edit | edit source]

Leeds United

[edit | edit source]

He impressed for Carlos Corberán's Leeds United under 23 side over the course of the 2018–19 season,[5] winning the PDL Northern League 2018–19 season, then becoming the national Professional Development League champions by beating Birmingham City in the final.[6]

As of 12 December 2019, he had featured on the first-team substitutes' bench over 30 times for the first team, but had yet to make his senior debut.[7][8] He made his long-awaited debut by starting in the FA Cup on 6 January 2020 in a 1–0 defeat against Premier League side Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.[9][10]

After the English professional football season was paused in March 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic, the season was resumed during June, where Gotts earned promotion with Leeds to the Premier League and also become the EFL Championship champions for the 2019-20 season in July.[11]

Gotts won Leeds United's Academy Player of the Year award at the club's end of season awards on 24 July 2020.[12]

On 15 October 2020, Gotts joined Lincoln City on a season-long loan deal.[13][14] He made his debut at home against Portsmouth on 3 November 2020[15] and scored his first goal in what would be his final game, a EFL Trophy tie against Accrington Stanley on 12 January 2021.[16] He was recalled by Leeds United a few days later[17] and immediately sent on loan to Salford City for the remainder of the season.[18][19] He was cup-tied for Salford's victory in the 2020 EFL Trophy Final (played in March 2021).[20]

Barrow

[edit | edit source]

Gotts left Leeds and signed for Barrow on 31 August 2021.[21] He won Player of the Year in his first season with the Bluebirds.[22]

He was offered a new contract at the end of the 2024–25 season.[23]

Doncaster Rovers

[edit | edit source]

On 15 May 2025, Gotts agreed to join recently crowned League Two champions Doncaster Rovers on 1 July 2025, on a two-year deal with the option for a further twelve months.[24]

Style of play

[edit | edit source]

Gotts was primarily a right-back but was converted by Marcelo Bielsa to play as a central midfielder. Bielsa described that he had never seen a player as "dynamic" as Gotts in his career, saying that "he's a number eight, a midfielder. He is not offensive and not defensive. He's a number eight."[7]
