Paddy pens new deal

2010 Player of Year Paddy Kisnorbo has signed a new two-year deal to the delight of everyone at Leeds United. Kisnorbo missed all of last season bar 15 minutes on the last day of the season against QPR. The resilient defender will be a big boost to the United squad and will act as a brand new signing.

This deal has been announced on the day Simon Grayson's squad departs for their pre-season tour to Scotland. That squad includes new singing Paul Rachubka, Kisnorbo and youngsters Alex Cairnes(GK), Zac Thompson, Nathan and Lewis Turner along with the rest of the expected first team squad.

Kisnorbo has committed his future to Leeds despite interest from Crystal Palace. A credit to his hard-work over the past 12 months, let's hope now that he can play just as an integral part of our Championship campaign as he did when we were promoted from League1.
