Thompson seals Leeds move

Leeds have completed the signing of midfielder Alan Thompson from Celtic until the end of the season.

The 33-year-old has passed a medical and agreed to join the Coca-Cola Championship strugglers initially until the summer.

Thompson spent over six years at Celtic following a £2.75m(€4.1m) switch from Aston Villa in 2000. He had previously made over 150 appearances for Bolton before moving to Villa in a £4.5m (€6.8m) deal in 1998.

Leeds manager Dennis Wise has now brought in six new players during the transfer window in his bid to save the fallen giants from the ignominy of relegation to League One.

Wise has so far signed Tresor Kandol, Matt Heath, Robbie Elliott, Armando Sa and Tore Andre Flo.
