He made his debut at home against Portsmouth on 3 November 2020 and scored his first goal in what would be his final game, a EFL Trophy tie against Accrington Stanley on 12 January 2021. He was recalled by Leeds United a few days later and immediately sent on loan to Salford City for the remainder of the season. He was cup-tied for Salford's victory in the 2020 EFL Trophy Final (played in March 2021).

Style of play Gotts was primarily a right-back but was converted by Marcelo Bielsa to play as a central midfielder. Bielsa described that he had never seen a player as "dynamic" as Gotts in his career, saying that "he's a number eight, a midfielder. He is not offensive and not defensive. He's a number eight."
