O'Brien heads for Whitecaps

Leeds defender Andy O'Brien has signed for Canadian side Vancouver Whitecaps, it has been reported.

The 33-year-old has departed Elland Road by mutual consent and has completed a move to Vancouver subject to international clearance. O'Brien was transfer-listed by Leeds boss Neil Warnock at the end of last season after failing to break into the new manager's side following his arrival in February. The defender spent just over 18 months at Elland Road after initially joining on loan from Bolton in October 2011. O'Brien made 38 appearances during his spell with Leeds.
