Wales attacking midfielder Harry Wilson made his first outing for Leeds United as they were beaten 3-2 by Wrexham in the club's opening pre-season game.

Wilson, who joined the Elland Road side on a free transfer in the summer after his contract at Fulham ran out, came on for the second half of the game at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

Leeds found themselves behind almost immediately when Kieffer Moore put Wrexham in front in the first minute with a left-foot shot.

Joel Piroe had the chance to level from the spot after Dan James had been brought down by keeper Arthur Okonkwo, but missed with his penalty.

Piroe made amends for the Premier League side by equalising with a backheel from a Sean Longstaff ball.

Bailey Cadamarteri ran through on goal and slotted in to put Wrexham back in front before Leeds again levelled when Longstaff scored with a right-footed shot.

Wilson was introduced by Leeds manager Daniel Farke as part of his changes for a second half in which Sam Smith, who also scored Wrexham's winner in a pre-season victory against Manchester United, netted late on for the Championship side.

Leeds went close in added time through Wilson but his shot went over.
