Clayton joins Leeds on a month's loan

The Academy graduate spent most of last season on loan with League 1 outfit Carlisle United and is expected to go straight into the squad to face Derby County tomorrow.

Clayton, who is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Blues, will look to impress boss Roberto Mancini during his time at Elland Road and the Championship side could provide the perfect platform for the 21-year-old to progress his career.
