Leeds United sign Alan Tate, Jerome Thomas

Alan Tate and Jerome Thomas have left their respective clubs to join Leeds United on loan until January.

30-year-old Tate has temporarily left the Liberty Stadium after not featuring for Swansea City since September, while Thomas has not played for West Bromwich Albion under Steve Clarke and manager Neil Warnock has admitted that he was particularly pleased to add Thomas to his squad.

Warnock told the club website: "Jerome is a player I've tried to sign five times so it's about time I finally got him.

"He is just what I'm looking for and I want him to come here and enjoy himself.

"He's direct and positive when he's attacking and fits the bill as just what we want."

Both players could feature when Leeds play Crystal Palace on Saturday.
