Former Celtic player joins Leeds United on Irish tour
Leeds United have been joined on their tour of Eire by former Celtic and Southampton defender Paul Telfer.
The 37-year-old full-back has accepted the chance to train with Leeds during their three-game spell in the Republic of Ireland following a seven-month break from professional football.
Telfer, who played alongside Leeds manager Gary McAllister for a number of seasons at Coventry City, has been without a club since terminating his contract with Bournemouth in December.
The defender agreed to cancel his one-year deal at Dean Court in order to have surgery on a niggling foot problem, an operation which sidelined him for the second half of last season.
Telfer will work alongside McAllister's players this week, with the Elland Road club set to play their first match against Galway United tomorrow night.
