Michael Tonge joined Leeds United in an initial loan deal from Stoke City in September 2012. The midfielder joined the club on a permanent deal during the January transfer window in the same season.
The former Sheffield United midfielder has played with a number of the United squad previously, and also knows manager Neil Warnock well from his time at Bramall Lane. Michael made over 300 appearances for the Blades with the majority coming under the current Leeds United manager.
He left Bramall Lane for Premier League Stoke City in at the start of the 2008/09 season for a fee of around £2 million. Since his arrival at the Britannia Stadium Tonge was involved in several loan deals to Championship clubs before making the switch to Elland Road in September.
After signing on loan Tonge went straight into the starting line up to make his debut away at Cardiff City. The midfielder's first goal came away at Bristol City in a 3-2 victory and he scored his second United goal at Hillsborough to secure a 1-1 draw.
