LEEDS UNITED WILL begin their preparations for the new season with two pre-season friendlies in Dublin next month.
New manager Garry Monk will run the rule over his charges during fixtures against Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers in the space of four days.
The Championship side will face SSE Airtricity League First Division outfit Shelbourne on Wednesday 13 July at 7pm before meeting Shamrock Rovers on Saturday 16 July at 3pm.
The venues for both games have yet to be confirmed, although you would imagine Tolka Park and Tallaght Stadium will play host.
Shels have already confirmed friendlies against Falkirk, Ipswich and Swindon for their Summer Football Festival.
Former Swansea boss Monk was appointed as Steve Evans’ successor at Elland Road last month and will be tasked with getting the Yorkshire club back to the top-flight.
Ticket details for the games in Dublin will be announced on Leeds’ website in due course.
