Former Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray has reportedly applied for the vacant managerial post at Leeds United.

The 50-year-old has been out of management since his exit from the Riverside last October.

According to Sky Sports News, Mowbray is keen for a new role, and has applied to the club to be Dave Hockaday's replacement, after his tenure came to an end after just six matches in charge.

Mowbray has also had spells in charge at Hibernian, West Bromwich Albion and Celtic.
