Where are they now? Leeds United’s Champions League semi-final squad of 2001

Ian Harte

Harte left Leeds following their relegation from the top-flight in 2004 after more than 280 appearances for the Whites since 1996.

Now 39; the left-back opted for La Liga side Levante following Leeds’ financial crisis, but suffered relegation back down to the Segunda Division during his debut term, only to celebrate an instant return to the Spanish top-flight the following season after nailing down a first-team spot at left-back.

Harte helped Levante finish 15th in La Liga upon their return, preserving their top-flight status for the following term.

However, new manager Abel Resino arrived and immediately admitted the Republic of Ireland star was surplus to requirements in Valencia, seeing the defender agree to terminate the remaining 12 months on his contract.

Nevertheless, his spell in Spain proved profitable as fellow Irishman Roy Keane lured the full-back to the Premier League once more with Sunderland.

Though, his Black Cats career lasted eight games, as he was transfer listed just months later in January 2008, before being released in the summer.

Spells at Blackpool, Carlisle United, Reading and AFC Bournemouth followed, including being part of the Royals and Cherries squad that won promotion to the Promised Land in 2012 and 2015.

But upon Bournemouth’s rise to the Premier League, Harte was released by manager Eddie Howe and subsequently retired from the game.

Harte is now a football agent, with one of his clients being Leeds’ youth prospect, Tyler Denton.
