Hull born David, a product of Nottingham Forest's youth system, is a versatile midield player with plenty of experience.
He made over 155 senior team appearances with Forest and also gained England Under 21 international honours, making 25 appearances between 2001 and 2004.
His form attracted interest from Southampton, who were then in the Premier League, and he moved to the South Coast club in a £2.5million transfer in 2003 before joining Leeds as a free agent during the troubled summer of 2007.
After enjoying a consistently good 2007-2008 season - his first with United - during which he made 41 appearances and scored four goals, David didn't manage to hold down a regular place in the first team the following season.
Prutton also established himself as something of a cult-figure among the Leeds fans during his first season at the club with his long locks and his humorous interview style.
Those locks were shorn at the back end of the 2008/09 season and, while not figuring in the first team, Prutton scored the goal which helped the reserve team claim the East League title.
