Guiseley become the second professional club in Leeds

Up until last Monday Leeds was the biggest city in the country with only one professional football club. Not anymore.

Players from Guiseley AFC, who play in the top tier of non-league football, have gone from training just two nights a week to training nearly every day. It's an ambitious move from the club, but is it also a risky one?

The club have never played at a higher level, and last night's National League game against Boreham Wood was only their second as a full time professional club.

Since winning the FA Vase in 1991 Guiseley have climbed the non league ranks.

They are now just one more promotion away from the Football League.

The club's new chairman James Ferguson believes that only by turning professional could the club achieve their goals.

Last month the club appointed a manager with football league experience.

Paul Cox led Mansfield Town back into the top four divisions in 2013.

With an average of just under a thousand people through the turnstiles the club relies on the investment of wealthy benefactors to operate full time.

The club though say they want to be self sustainable within 5 years, even if that does mean a move away from Nethermoor, their home for over 100 years.

Last night's game ended in a dour goalless draw. No doubt more eventful days lie ahead for the region's newest professional football club.
