DONE DEAL: Former West Ham, QPR keeper Green joins Leeds Utd

Rob Green has joined Championship club Leeds United.

The 36-year-old goalkeeper has signed a one-year deal with the Whites after leaving QPR as a free agent.

The former Norwich City and West Ham United gloveman was thrilled to make his way to Elland Road where he will compete with Marco Silvestri, Ross Turnbull and youngster Bailey Peacock-Farrell for a spot in Garry Monk's first team.

"It's exciting to be here," Green told leedsunited.com.

"This is one of those opportunities where the first phone call asking if you want to come and play for Leeds is a very quick one. It was a 'yes' straightaway.

"I'm thrilled to be here. I've spoken to the manager and I know what he's got in store and what he's planning.

"What he said really resonated with me and re-affirmed my feelings towards this opportunity.

"After a long wait over the summer, the last few days have happened very quickly and now I'm ready to go. I can't wait to get going.

"I'll join the squad as one of the older members of the group and the role I'll have to play with my experience really appeals to me.

"I'm here for however the manager needs me. He's got a young team of players, who, he says with the right guidance, will really flourish."
