Leeds United midfielder Sean Gregan believes the club can mount a serious promotion challenge next season.
The Elland Road club have not made the play-offs but the former Preston player is confident about the future.
Gregan told BBC Radio Leeds: "Any relegated team will find it's difficult to bounce back as everyone wants to beat a former Premiership side.
"It has been difficult but if we keep this squad together and add a few to it we can look forward to next season."
