Leeds United have signed Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Jason Brown on a month-long loan.

The 28-year-old joined the club ahead of Saturday's Elland Road clash with Swansea City.

The Welsh international went straight into the squad for the game against the Swans, following a foot injury sustained by Kasper Schmeichel.

United manager Simon Grayson said: "Kasper picked up a foot injury a couple of weeks ago and we are assessing him as we go. We have a lot of games coming up and I'm delighted that Jason has agreed to come in."

Brown, who has won two caps for his country, has made 153 career appearances, the majority of which came for Gillingham before his move to Blackburn Rovers four years ago.

During his time at Blackburn he has made 16 appearances and has served as understudy to both Brad Friedel and Paul Robinson.
