Da er backreserven på plass. £8m pluss £2m i mulige bonuser meldes det.
Fire års kontrakt.
Kan spille på begge backer. Har vært kaptein på Leicester, også like før overgangen.

Kan han jobbe seg til fast plass???

James Justin: I am excited to join the lads and get to work

Defender chats after signing for the Whites!

Leeds United confirmed our latest signing of a productive summer transfer window, bringing in experienced defender James Justin.

The 27-year-old arrives at Elland Road on a four-year deal from Leicester City, with extensive knowledge of the Premier League having made 99 appearances at the top level.

Justin can also boast European and international football on his CV, as well as having won the FA Cup during his time with the Foxes.

"Obviously to join a club of this size and to have the history it has had, and being back in the Premier League was a massive thing for me, so I'm over the moon to have joined," our new signing began, speaking about his reasons for the move.

"It's been a while since I've known of the interest, but obviously I was still a Leicester player, so I had to give my all for Leicester whilst I was there.

"That's something obviously that you can expect from me when I put on a Leeds shirt, is to give my all when I'm on the pitch. But for it to finally have happened, it's taken a weight off my shoulders for sure.

"Everyone that I've spoken to about the club and the area has had great things to say about it. So I'm excited to join the lads and get to work."

With the Premier League season now underway and having played against the Whites before in his career, James is looking forward to returning to Elland Road on the home side this time.

"The stadium has obviously got one of the best atmospheres in world football," he stated.

"And it's always a daunting task to come here as an opposing team, but I'm happy to have the fans behind me this time.

"Hopefully I can put on the shirt in front of the fans and show them what I can do, if selected, and hopefully I can train up until then to get myself ready as possible."

...og der seilte han rett til topps som den forsvarsspilleren vi har med flest PL-kamper

James Justin is now the Leeds United defender with the most PL experience

While aged 27 and six foot tall, he also fits another criteria Leeds have been using this summer

We can discuss length of contract but in the short-term, a good back-up #lufc

People need to stop comparing Justin to Bogle or Gudmundsson, he is competition for Byram and/or Schmidt, 99 Premier league appearances, has played for England. As a player for the bench, it's a solid piece of business. On to the next...

Veldig bra med en erfaren sideback som kan være cover på begge sider! Og hvis han er så god at han tar plassen fra Bogle eller Gudmundsson så er det helt greit for meg! Uansett vil skader og suspensjoner komme, så tenker dette er bra.
Velkommen til oss James!😄

Han er vår femte JJ.

Hvem var de fire første???

- to burde være piece of cake, èn en U21-spiller som var innom førstelaget så vidt før han forsvant videre. Men sistemann hadde jeg bare ikke klart...

Enn du?

Jepp, det var de eg så på som enkle.
Kom igjen, du husker U21-spilleren også

Reaney · August 25, 2025, 20:46:58

Joe Jordan & Julian Joachim smalt rett inn. Googlet meg fram til Jack Jenkins og Jemal Johnson.
Takk for artig gjettelek Asbjørn.

Jack Jenkins burde det være mulig å huske, men sistemann, lånespiss fra 2006 med fem kamper, tre fra start. UMULIG.

...det var Stats som kom med den:
James Justin will be the 5th Leeds United player with the initials JJ, after Joe Jordan, Julian Joachim, Jemal Johnson and Jack Jenkins. He will also be the the 25th player who has the same initials with the same letter.

Da forstår jeg det slik at Johnny Jiles ikke telles med?

Bra ordspill, Hallgeir.
Plutselig var det morsomt å være på Forumet igjen

Dette tror jeg er en klok signering. God kvalitet å ha som bredde i to posisjoner. Da er vel Leeds-karrieren til Schmidt over?
