Lee Trundle's goals helped Bristol City to the Championship play-off final

Simon Grayson has made his first signing as Leeds United manager with the capture of Lee Trundle on a month's loan from Bristol City.

The 32-year-old striker, who has scored 130 career goals, cost the Bristol side �1m from Swansea City in 2007.

Grayson told the club's website: "Lee is a proven goalscorer.

"He brings something a bit different, and he has a great track record. It's good competition for places and he is a good acquisition to the squad."

Trundle, who has been given the number 35 shirt at Elland Road, has played 19 games this season for City, scoring twice, but has not featured since Boxing Day.

The Liverpudlian, who started his career at Stalybridge Celtic, has also played for Southport, Rhyl and Wrexham.

His most successful spell was at Swansea, for whom he scored 86 goals during his four-year spell in West Wales.
