England Under-21s goalkeeper Jack Butland has joined Leeds United on loan for the rest of the season.
The 20-year-old links up with the Championship side ahead of their trip to Middlesbrough on Saturday, where he is expected to make his debut.
Butland, who made his Premier League debut for Stoke City in January, is already familiar with the Championship having spent three months on loan with Yorkshire rivals Barnsley earlier this season.

And now he will be hoping to help Leeds in their promotion challenge for the remainder of the campaign, as well as keeping his place in Gareth Southgate's Under-21s squad where he has been an ever present.
Speaking about the deal, Leeds boss Brian McDermott said: "We’re delighted to agree a deal to secure the services of Jack until the end of the season.
"Obviously he has high ambitions. He has already been involved in the England squad and I know he is very much looking forward to coming in and being part of the group we have here."
Butland has represented the Three Lions at every level from U16s to Senior, becoming the youngest 'keeper to play for England when he made his debut against Italy in August 2012.

He also has plenty of experience in the Championship, since breaking into the Birmingham City side as a teenager before his move to the Britannia Stadium in January 2013.
