Will Buckley made 22 Premier League appearances for Sunderland last season

Championship side Leeds United have signed winger Will Buckley on loan from Sunderland until 2 January.

Buckley has not made an appearance for Dick Advocaat's side this term, and was not named in the Black Cats' 25-man Premier League squad.

The 25-year-old former Brighton player could make his Leeds debut when they host Birmingham on Saturday.

"He brings pace, directness, goal threat and he's a good lad," Leeds boss Uwe Rosler told the club's website. external-link

"He brings experience in the Championship and experience of playing for a team who challenge at the top of the Championship."
