Leeds United have completed the signing of former Portsmouth midfielder Michael Brown.

The 34-year-old, who was out of contract on the south coast, completed the formalities of his switch to Leeds in Scotland on Monday afternoon before joining up with his new team-mates for training at their Glasgow base.

The Hartlepool-born midfield man, who was attracting interest from a number of clubs, has signed a one-year deal with a further year's option built-in.

He brings a wealth of experience to the ranks, having played much of his recent football in the Premier League with Portsmouth, Wigan, Fulham, and Tottenham Hotspur.

He has 524 appearances to his name since starting his career at Manchester City, and he made almost 200 appearances for Sheffield United during a successful spell that led to him being snapped up by Spurs.

United manager Simon Grayson said: "We're delighted to finalise things with Michael. He is a player that I have long been interested in and I'm glad we've been able to sort things out for him to come here.

"He has experience and know-how, and he has played at the highest level. He fits the bill in terms of the quality of player I was looking to bring in and he will be a great addition to the squad.

"He met up with the lads when we arrived in Scotland and we've been able to conclude things quickly so he can start training with us here."

The midfielder, who follows goalkeeper Paul Rachubka as the club's second summer signing, could make his Leeds debut in Wednesday's friendly at Falkirk.
