GRELLA DEPARTS ELLAND ROAD

Striker moves out initially on loan...

Mike Grella jumps with joy after sealing the tie

Leeds United striker Mike Grella has joined Brentford initially on an emergency loan.

The American marksman, who has not figured in Simon Grayson's plans since last pre-season, will join former United captain Jonathan Douglas at Griffin Park.

His Leeds United contract will be mutually terminated next week allowing the player to pursue a career elsewhere.

Mike had two spells on loan last season, at Carlisle and Swindon, and hasn't made a first team appearance since the opening week of the 2010/11 campaign.

Since joining Leeds in January 2009, the striker has made 38 appearances, scoring four goals.
