Burnley right-back Connor Roberts has joined Leeds United on loan.

The Championship club have in turn sent Ian Poveda to Sheffield Wednesday until the summer. 

Roberts, 28, has signed on loan until the end of the season and will supplement Daniel Farke’s defensive ranks 

‘The aim is to get promoted and whether that means me playing half the games, all the games, only a few games, it doesn’t really bother me. I just want to want to be smiling with the rest of the lads come the end of the season.’

Roberts started his career at Swansea, and has also had spells with Yeovil, Bristol Rovers and Middlesbrough.

He could make his debut for the Whites against Rotherham United at Elland Road a week on Saturday.

Farke’s Leeds are fourth in the Championship, two points behind second-placed Ipswich Town.
