The 21 year-old spent last season on loan at League Two side Oldham Athletic. He scored 10 goals in 39 appearances and was viewed as a huge success in his first spell away from Elland Road.

The PT was tipped off Posh were interested in signing McCalmont and asked the question of club director of football Barry Fry.

“Leeds offered to swap the player for one of ours and we turned it down flat,” Fry stated without naming the Posh player involved.
