 Westlake has signed a three-year deal with Leeds |
Leeds United have signed Ian Westlake from Ipswich Town, with Dan Harding moving in the other direction. Town say that in addition to Harding they have also received a fee of �400,000, possibly rising to �500,000.
Westlake, 23, and England Under-21 international Harding, 22, have signed three-year deals with their new clubs.
Harding started his career at Brighton before joining Leeds in July 2005 for �850,000, while Westlake came through the ranks at Ipswich.
Westlake made 126 appearances for Town and his move completes a busy few days for Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell, who has also signed Geoff Horsfield and Tony Warner.
"There are also certain sell-on conditions attached to Ian's move," Town chairman David Sheepshanks told his club's website.
"So although we don't like to see one of our own move on, a �500,000 deal plus Dan adds up to a good deal for Ipswich Town."
