League One side Leeds United have signed veteran striker Paul Dickov on a short term deal until the end of the season. The Yorkshire side have added the 37 year-old to their squad in a bid to help their promotion push to the Championship.
Dickov has previously appeared for both Derby County and Leicester City this season. However the Foxes decided to release the striker in February. The former Manchester City star has been training with Leeds in a bid to win a contract and has impressed boss Simon Grayson. Dickov had to seek permission from FIFA to make the move, as hes already played for two clubs this season.
Leeds boss Simon Grayson told the clubs official website: “We’re delighted to get things finalised and welcome Paul on board. He has been training with us, we know all about him and what he will bring to the squad over the next few months.
“He brings experience both on the pitch and in and around the dressing room, and he is a good short-term signing for the club.”
The Scottish striker has played more than 400 games in his career, scoring over a hundred goals with 10 clubs. He won cult status at Manchester City for scoring crucial goals and working hard for the team.
