The 28-year-old fringe Socceroo was attracting interest from a number of Championship clubs following his departure from Leicester City at the end of last season, but he opted for a two-year deal with Leeds United.

"There were other clubs interested, but I saw more in this club than in the others," he told the club's official website today. "None of them appealed to me as much as this club.

"Leeds has a great tradition and history and I want to be part of a successful club."

Following his departure from Leicester at the end of last season, the defender had said he would be aiming "to prove a point" to the club following a frustrating season on a personal level.

Despite being a regular for the previous three seasons - clocking up over a century of appearances - he figured just 10 times last term as the Foxes won the League One title.

"They are the ones who let me go and didn't let me play," he said. "The gaffer there had his own ideas, although I'd played regularly over the previous three years. It wasn't nice, but it's just one of those things.

"But I also want to pay back the staff, the players, and the fans here at Leeds. Everyone has already made me so welcome and shown me support.

"I don't like talking about promotion, it's all about treating each game as it comes."
