The Republic of Ireland international has one year left on his contract at Hillsborough but has missed the majority of the current campaign with a groin injury after undergoing surgery four months ago. Westwood has spent the last four seasons with the south Yorkshire club as first choice since making the move from Sunderland racking up 143 league appearances in the process.

The Whites are now reportedly wanting to add him to their ranks at Thorp Arch to join the fight for the number one shirt at Elland Road next season.
