Leeds striker Michael Bridges has signed for Newcastle on a three-month loan deal. Bridges moved to Elland Road for �5m under then manager David O'Leary from Sunderland in 1999.
He scored 22 times in his debut season but has struggled to recapture his best form since because of a host of recurring injuries.
The 25-year-old has made the Leeds starting line-up just once this season with five substitute appearances.
