Will Buckley: Sunderland winger joins Leeds United on loan

Will Buckley made 22 Premier League appearances for Sunderland last season

Championship side Leeds United have signed winger Will Buckley on loan from Sunderland until 2 January.

Buckley has not made an appearance for Dick Advocaat's side this term, and was not named in the Black Cats' 25-man Premier League squad.

The 25-year-old former Brighton player could make his Leeds debut when they host Birmingham on Saturday.

"He brings pace, directness, goal threat and he's a good lad," Leeds boss Uwe Rosler told the club's website.

"He brings experience in the Championship and experience of playing for a team who challenge at the top of the Championship."
