Scott Wootton has returned to Leeds after completing his loan spell at Rotherham but could head back to the New York Stadium on a permanent basis.

The 23-year-old defender played his last game for Rotherham in Saturday's defeat at Brentford, although the two clubs are said to be in talks over a permanent deal.

Wootton made seven appearances for Rotherham since arriving in an emergency loan switch at the end of November.

He progressed through Manchester United's academy before joining Leeds in the summer of 2013.
