Leeds boss Simon Grayson is snapping up Aston Villa's Australian centre-half Shane Lowry on loan for the rest of the season.
Grayson has agreed a deal to take the highly-rated defender, who is in Martin O'Neill's plans but will be sent out for a second spell to get first-team football - and boost his chances of making the Socceroos World Cup squad.
Lowry was with Plymouth earlier in the season but turned down a return to join the Leeds prompotion bandwagon. He could also be eligible for the FA Cup fifth round if they get past Tottenham in the replay.
