Telfer Joins United

Last updated : 09 August 2008 By Kevin Markey

The former Luton, Coventry, Southampton and Celtic player has joined Leeds on a non-contract basis after a trial with the club.

Telfer's workrate is unquestioned and he can play in a variety of positions. He cancelled his contract with Bournemouth last season to assist their financial problems.

Full-back Telfer, 36, will go straight into the squad for Saturday's League One trip to Scunthorpe. He spent the early weeks of pre-season with Leeds playing during their tour of Ireland.

The former Scotland international joins up again with McAllister after they spent three years as team-mates at Coventry over a decade ago.
