Iron sign Keegan

With injuries and suspensions mounting up with the Division Three squad, Laws has moved to add a new face to his squad.

The young Irishman is a midfielder who has yet to make an appearance for the first team at Elland Road, having joined The Iron to gain more senior experience.

The 19-year-old will be eligible to play in the FA Cup first round next month and is expected to go straight into the squad for Tuesday's match at Carlisle United.

Laws is also expecting to extend the loan of goalkeeper Sam Russell for a third month from Premiership side Middlesbrough, with his current deal to end after their match versus The Cumbrians.

Meanwhile, at the club's annual general meeting on Monday evening, chairman Steve Wharton resigned from his post and was voted club president.

He will be replaced by Chris Holland, who was elected as new board chairman.
