Leeds United have signed 27-year-old defender James Justin from Championship side Leicester City on a four-year deal.

Justin, who is one game off making 100 appearances in the Premier League, will be the 10th signing for Daniel Farke's side this transfer window.

He's also played on the European and international stage, making his England debut in 2022.

"Obviously to join a club of this size and to have the history it has had, and being back in the Premier League was a massive thing for me, so I'm over the moon to have joined," Justin said.

"Everyone that I've spoken to about the club and the area has had great things to say about it. So I'm excited to join the lads and get to work.

"The stadium has obviously got one of the best atmospheres in world football.

"And it's always a daunting task to come here as an opposing team, but I'm happy to have the fans behind me this time.

"Hopefully I can put on the shirt in front of the fans and show them what I can do, if selected, and hopefully I can train up until then to get myself ready as possible."
