The wait is over as Brown joins

Michael Brown, 34, has joined Leeds United on a one-year deal with an option for a further year. The Midfielder was out of contract after his spell with Portsmouth and joined up with his new team mates in Scotland on Monday. The experienced intelligent central midfielder has made 524 appearances, 200 of for Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United. He enjoyed spells with Spurs, Fulham and most recently Portsmouth.

I think everybody will be delighted first of all to see another player sign up but most importantly as someone as talented as Brown. A few questions may be raised over his age however, he is a hard working confident leader and will in my opinion form a superb partnership alongside Jonny Howson. He will most likely replace the role of Bradley Johnson, a strong attribute of Brown's is that he's never shy of a throwing himself into a tackle.

All the fears and doubters can now relax as Simon Grayson has brought in the sort of player we have been craving for. Not only will he bolster the midfield, I believe he has the capabilities to help organise the defence and will give a boost to the squad that is still developing and working hard to strive for bigger and better things. A superb signing and hopefully a sign of things to come.
