Leeds United<\/a> have clinched the permanent signing of Stoke City<\/a> utility player Danny Pugh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former Manchester United man Pugh joined the Yorkshire club in September on a short-term loan deal, with an option to make the switch permanent in January.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n


The 29-year-old has impressed in his 17 appearances so far this campaign, and has signed a two-and-a-half year deal at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

Manager Simon Grayson told the club\u2019s official website: \u201cDanny is a versatile player and is a good addition to the squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe can play in a few positions, he has already shown people what he is about, and it\u2019s good to have him on a permanent basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deal marks a continuation of Pugh\u2019s second spell with the club, whom he originally joined back in 2004 after failing to make his mark at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

The player spent two seasons at Elland Road before joining Preston North End for \u00a3250,000, and subsequently signed for Stoke when Tony Pulis’ men gained promotion to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Pugh becomes Leeds\u2019 second addition in the current transfer window, after the club announced the signing of Tottenham youngster Andros Townsend, who joins on a loan deal until the end of the season.<\/p>\n
