Defender Paul Connolly signed a three-year contract with Leeds United in the summer of 2010 after joining from Derby County.
Paul joined from Pride Park having made 72 appearances for the club during a two-year stay in the East Midlands.
He started the 2010 campaign in the starting line-up against his former club in the Championship opener at Elland Road and went on to make 34 appearances during the season.
Injury interrupted his progress in February, but manager Simon Grayson described the Liverpudlian as his "Mr Consistent."
Born in Liverpool, Paul started his career at Plymouth Argyle where he progressed through the youth ranks.
He made his debut during the 2000/01 season and made 176 appearances for the Devon club before opting to join Derby on a free transfer in 2008.
