Goalkeeper Andy Lonergan has returned to Leeds on a two-year contract following Rob Green's departure to Huddersfield.

Former England stopper Green, 37, completed a return to the Premier League with the Terriers on Sunday after Leeds cancelled the player's contract by mutual consent.

Leeds announced the arrival of Lonergan on a free transfer shortly after, with the 33-year-old returning to Elland Road having left fellow Sky Bet Championship side Wolves in the summer.

Lonergan's last spell at Leeds came between 2011 and 2012, when he made 35 league appearances for the club.
