Blackwell Gets Douglas And Targets One Other
leedsunited.com
Leeds United have signed promising young Irish international midfielder Jonathan Douglas on a year long loan deal, whilst
Kevin Blackwell is also targeting a permanent "significant signing."
Blackwell would not divulge more details of the mystery signing, but it is understood to be a player with significant experience and who Blackwell insists will add quality to a squad which has already seen heavy investment in it over the past six months.
The player would be signing a permanently contract at Elland Road if the deal goes through.
Twice capped by the Republic of Ireland, former youth trainee Douglas made his debut for Blackburn in the League Cup against West Ham United in 2000.
He has also spent time on loan with Chesterfield, Blackburn and last season was with Gillingham for two months.
The 23-year-old will be included in the squad for tomorrow's Championship game against Wolves at Elland Road.
Blackwell said: "Jonathan is a young lad who did well during his time on loan last season and he is someone who offers me a number of options across midfield. "He's also the type of midfielder who can get you a goal when you most need it."
