Leeds United sign Rob Green on one-year deal

Leeds United sign former England goalkeeper Rob Green on a one-year contract following his release from Queens Park Rangers.

Leeds United have signed former England goalkeeper Rob Green on a one-year contract.

The experienced stopper, who has become Garry Monk's fourth signing of the summer, arrives on a free transfer after running down his contract with Queens Park Rangers.

"It's exciting to be here. This is one of those opportunities where the first phone call asking if you want to come and play for Leeds is a very quick one. It was a 'yes' straightaway. I'm thrilled to be here. I've spoken to the manager and I know what he's got in store and what he's planning," Green told the club's official website.

"What he said really resonated with me and re-affirmed my feelings towards this opportunity. After long wait over the summer, the last few days have happened very quickly and now I'm ready to go. I can't wait to get going.

"I'll join the squad as one of the older members of the group and the role I'll have to play with my experience really appeals to me. I'm here for however the manager needs me. He's got a young team of players, who, he says with the right guidance, will really flourish."

Green has made over 600 club appearances during spells with Norwich City, West Ham United and QPR, in addition to winning 12 England caps.
