Leeds United have agreed a deal to sign goalkeeper Ross Turnbull from Barnsley, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post’s Phil Hay.

Deal between Leeds and Barnsley for Turnbull agreed. Should be announced in the next hour. — Phil Hay (@PhilHay_) July 15, 2015

The 30-year-old ex-Chelsea stopper has agreed a two-year deal with The Whites, and will join as a back-up to current number 1 Marco Silvestri.

Turnbull has made 34 appearances in the Premier League and 63 appearances in the Championship, in a career where he has featured near 200 times and has been part of Premier League and Champions League winning sides.

Boss Uwe Rosler has been looking for another goalkeeper to push Silvestri for the starting role. Leeds previously had ex-Newcastle goalkeeper Jak Alnwick on-trial, but that trial was ended after only two days. Following this the attention turned to Turnbull, and Leeds have managed to secure his services for the next couple of seasons.
