English Championship side Leeds United have signed Catania defender Giuseppe Bellusci on a season-long loan deal.

The 24-year-old signed for the Sicilian club from Ascoli in 2009 and was a key member of the Rossazzurri side in 2012/2013 under Rolando Maran, when they recorded their best ever performance in Serie A picking up 56 points from 38 matches.

According to his agent Silvio Pagliari, who released a picture via his Twitter account, Bellusci will sign for the Elland Road club on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent move in 2015.

On 25 March, 2009 Bellusci made his debut for the Azzurri U-21’s in a friendly against Austria and went on to play with future full internationals Mario Balotelli and Andrea Ranocchia during his time with the U-21’s.
