Will Buckley completes Leeds United switch

Sunderland winger Will Buckley has joined Championship side Leeds United on a three-month loan deal.

The 25-year-old had struggled for first-team action since Dick Advocaat's arrival in March, and was expected to leave Wearside on a temporary basis.

Buckley has now inked a short-term deal with Leeds United until the New Year, and will seek to redeem himself with a regular game-time.

"I wanted to go out and get some games at a big club and Leeds was the perfect opportunity for me to do that," he revealed on United's official website.

Manager Uwe Rosler is expected to guide the Yorkshire outfit to a top-half finish this term, having brought in as many as nine players to his squad.
