Former skipper Richard Naylor has made his loan stay at Leeds a permanent one.

31-year old Leeds-born Naylor has been on loan at Elland Road since January 14th and has signed a two-and-a half year deal. He made over 400 appearances for Ipswich since joing them as a 16-year old from the Leeds Centre of Excellence.

He told the Leeds official website, "It is strange leaving Ipswich after almost 15 years down there because I'd made that my home.

"The club and the supporters have been good to me. My wife's from Ipswich and my family have been brought up there, but this is an opportunity that is just too good to miss.

"I wouldn't have made a decision like this to go to any other club."
