Adam Drury klar för Leeds

Den rutinerade vänsterbacken är klar för Leeds United efter att ha kritat på ett 2-års kontrakt.

Neil Warnock har införskaffat sig nyttig rutin i den 33 årige Adam Drury, som var med och tog Norwich City från League One till Premier League på imponerande två säsonger.

Med över 350 matcher för Canaries i bagaget kan Adam The Championship utan och innan.

Warnock kommenterar själv värvningen så här: "He's a very good professional. I think he's a good defender, he's quick and I thought we needed a bit of experience in certain places, and that desire and will. And with Adam you know what you're going to get.
"I'm delighted to have him. He's got the experience we need. He played 16 times for Norwich last season and he's better than a lot of full backs in the Premier League.

"He's a good lad. That's half the battle as well. It gives us a good mix because we've got young Pearcey on that side as well so we can put that to bed now and move on to a different area.
"When you speak to him he's full of enthusiasm and when you get released from a club you want to prove people wrong.

"There's a few times I've wanted to kick him over the years! We've always had a rapport when my teams have played against him and I think he knows I've always respected him.
"I tried to sign him at Sheffield United a few years back and it wasn't to be, but I've kept my eye on him ever since. He'll love it here. You can't play with fear at Elland Road and I think Adam will enjoy that part."

Adamev således LUFC andra värvning efter Jason Pearce, som tidigare anslöt från nedflyttade Portsmouth. Idel rykten viskar om att målvakten Paddy Kenny snart kan vara en Leeds-spelare även han.
