Gaetano Berardi: Leeds United full-back signs new contract

Leeds United's Gaetano Berardi has been on the losing side only once this season

Leeds United full-back Gaetano Berardi has signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2018.

The 27-year-old Switzerland defender, whose previous deal expired at the end of the season, has played in eight of his club's nine matches this campaign.

"I'm very happy here - the city and everything is very good," Berardi said.

"We are a team this season after many changes last season. We are a very good group, that is important, and we're playing well with the full-backs."

Berardi, who can play at right-back or left-back, joined Leeds in the summer of 2014 from Italian club Sampdoria and has made 32 appearances.

Uwe Rosler's side are 10th in the Championship after a 2-1 win at MK Dons on Saturday.
