Leeds United have signed Tottenham's England under-21 international defender Adam Smith on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old right-back joins fellow Premier League youngsters Andros Townsend, also on loan from Tottenham, and Fabian Delph at Elland Road.

Adam has yet to figure for Tottenham, but he has had previous loan spells at Wycombe, Torquay, and Bournemouth, where he made 41 appearances for the Cherries last term and played a key role in their promotion challenge from League One.

This term, he has continued to establish himself, this time at MK Dons, where he made 22 appearances for Karl Robinson's League One promotion chasers.

Adam, who has won four caps for England under-21s, has also represented his country at every age level from the under-16s.

United manager Simon Grayson said: "Adam is a player we've been monitoring for a few months now at MK Dons. He has done very, very well and we're delighted we could get his services.

"We know how highly thought of he was at MK and on top of the reports we've had, he's had some great recommendations from Stuart Pearce and Harry Redknapp.

"Adam is an England under-21 international with a bright future and he is a great addition for us."

The player was recalled from MK Dons by Tottenham on Monday to allow him to make the step up to the Championship, and MK Dons boss Robinson said: "It's extremely disapppointing to lose someone of Adam's quality, he has made a great contribution to the club this season."
