Jesse Marsch's encouraging message to Leeds United supporters as pre-season tour of Australia ends

Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch has sent a message to Whites supporters on social media, after the pre-season tour of Australia came to an end.

The Whites played three games Down Under, as they prepare for their third consecutive Premier League season. Leeds beat A-League outfit Brisbane Roar 2-1 to kick off the tour, before Marsch's side lost narrowly to Aston Villa, and then drew 1-1 to Crystal Palace.

In a Twitter post, Marsch said: "Thank you Australia for a great two weeks. The team is working tirelessly every day to improve and grow. Big things on the horizon! #LUFC #MOT."

After the draw to Crystal Palace on Friday, the Leeds players and staff visited Perth Zoo on Saturday. A video on Leeds' Twitter account showed the players getting up close and personal with some of the animals at the zoo.

Some players, including Adam Forshaw and Mateusz Klich, also attended a 'fans party' in Fremantle, where supporters were able to meet - and take photos with - some of their favourite stars.

Leeds have one more pre-season game, facing Italian side Cagliari at Elland Road on Sunday, July 31. Their Premier League campaign starts six days later when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Yorkshire.
