Sunderland will be Deane's eighth club in his 19-year career
|
Championship leaders Sunderland have completed the free signing of Leeds striker Brian Deane.
The 37-year-old has joined until the end of the season as manager Mick McCarthy looks to increase his forward options ahead of the title run-in.
McCarthy said: "Brian will be a terrific addition. He offers us something different.
"He'll thrive on the kind of service we can give him and we're well aware of the problems he can cause teams."
Deane began his career at Doncaster and has also played for Sheffield United, Benfica and Middlesbrough.
Leeds have also signed former Charlton keeper Sasa Ilic while fellow number one Kevin Pressman has joined Coventry on a non-contract deal.
