Leeds United have agreed a deal for Northern Ireland international goalkeeper Maik Taylor to stay on until the end of the season.

The 40-year-old joined on a short-term basis in November after training with the club and an extension has now been agreed enabling the club to retain the goalkeeper's services until the end of the campaign.

"We've agreed a deal until the end of the season," confirmed United manager Simon Grayson.

"Maik has got good experience to be in and around the squad and obviously if anything happens to Andy Lonergan, Maik can step in."

Maik's initial deal was due to expire after the home game against Ipswich Town on January 21.
