Norwich City defender Adam Drury agrees a two-year contract with Championship side Leeds United.

Adam Drury has brought an end to his 11-year stint with Norwich City by agreeing a contract with Leeds United.

The 33-year-old defender, who made 16 appearances for the Canaries last season, is believed to have made the move in the hope of securing regular starting action.

Discussing the arrival of Drury on a two-year deal, manager Neil Warnock admitted that he had attempted to sign the Cambridge-born player on numerous occasions.

"From July 1 he will be our player and he's a player I've looked at for many years," Warnock told the club's official website.

"He's a very good professional. I think he's a good defender, he's quick and I thought we needed a bit of experience in certain places, and that desire and will. And with Adam you know what you're going to get.

"I tried to sign him at Sheffield United a few years back and it wasn't to be, but I've kept my eye on him ever since. He'll love it here. You can't play with fear at Elland Road and I think Adam will enjoy that part."

Drury is Warnock's second signing so far this summer, having recently secured the services of Jason Pearce from Portsmouth.
