Former Ireland international could join Leeds permanently

Defender Andy O'Brien admits he has an uncertain future and is not ruling out a permanent move to Leeds United. The 31-year-old stopper is currently on loan at Elland Road having found first-team opportunities hard to come by at parent club Bolton Wanderers. O'Brien started in the Championship clash with Scunthorpe at the weekend, replacing Neill Collins in Simon Grayson's line-up. He is only with the Whites for one month but will be a free agent for the first time in his career next summer and is assessing his options. "I've had a frustrating time at Bolton but I'm really grateful for the opportunity here - first and foremost to Leeds but also to Bolton for letting me come," he told the Yorkshire Evening Post. "I suppose to a certain extent I'm in control of my own destiny in the sense that in six or seven months' time I'll be available on a free transfer. "It's the first time in my career and also the first time I've ever been out on loan, but of all the clubs to come to, it's a massive honour to be at Leeds." O'Brien will be expected to feature when Leeds travel to the Ricoh Arena to face Coventry City on Saturday.
