Re: Moore Off To Leeds
Leeds United have completed their transfer deadline day move for Burnley striker Ian Moore.
The former Nottingham Forest hit-man moves to Elland Road after both Championship clubs agreed a fee of £50,000 for the 28-year-old on Wednesday.
Moore signed a two-year deal and passed a medical before the Football League's transfer deadline came to an end at 5pm on Thursday, with another striker in Brian Deane heading out of Leeds to join Sunderland on the same day.
Despite receiving interest from Sunderland and Sheffield United, Moore was keen to join The Whites instead.
"Over the last two weeks, I heard there was an interest from Leeds and obviously my contract with Burnley was coming to an end," Moore told Leeds' official website.
"I've been there [Burnley] for four-and-a-half years and I felt it was time for a change and now I'm looking forward to this fresh challenge here.
"The manager [Kevin Blackwell] has told me I am a player he's always wanted to sign because I've always caused problems when I've played against his sides."
