Ormerod joins Leeds

SOUTHAMPTON striker Brett Ormerod will start a month on loan at Leeds United today.

Ormerod has been out of favour recently and Saints head coach Steve Wigley confirmed after yesterday’s 2-1 Barclays Premiership defeat against Newcastle at St Mary’s Stadium that he was heading for a spell at Elland Road.

Wigley said: “we’re not looking to sell him. He needs games, though, and hasn’t had many here this season. Hopefully, he will come back to us with the benefit of five or six under his belt.”
