Former Ipswich Town defender Alex Bruce became Leeds United's seventh signing in the busy summer of 2010.
The 25-year-old agreed a two-year deal with a further one-year option after joining from Portman Road for an undisclosed fee.
Alex went on to make 24 appearances during our first season back in the Championship, all coming at centre-back, and he scored his first goal for the club against Preston North End at Elland Road in September 2010.
The central defender arrived having made almost 200 senior appearances in a career that has taken in Blackburn, Birmingham, Oldham, Sheffield Wednesday, Tranmere, Ipswich, and Leicester.
Over a century of his appearances came at Ipswich, after joining the club from Birmingham in 2006, but he failed to figure during the latter period of last term and was loaned to Leicester.
Alex, who started at Manchester United's Academy before joining Blackburn as a youngster, has also made two appearances for the Republic of Ireland.
