Leeds defender keen on loan move to regain fitness

understands Leeds defender Ben Parker could be set for a loan switch to League One Carlisle. Parker has spent the past two-and-a-half years on the sidelines following a series of operations and failed comebacks. The left-back has made only four starts for Leeds since suffering a hip injury against Exeter in August 2009. The 24-year-old is keen to go out on loan in order to regain his match sharpness after such a long spell on the sidelines and Leeds are ready to loan him out. Carlisle have expressed an interest in taking Parker on loan and they are hoping to strike a deal with Leeds.
