Australia international defender Hayden Foxe is back training with Leeds United, reports BBC Radio Leeds.
The 29-year-old former Portsmouth and West Ham centre-back spent most of pre-season with the Yorkshire club.
Foxe wants to secure a contract at Elland Road, but will need to convince boss Kevin Blackwell he has that he has recovered from a long-term foot injury.
Leeds are waiting to finalise a deal for Celtic left-back Mo Camara, who is set to sign on a season-long loan.

No but the source about Foxe is apparantly from the Evening Post so there should be a good chance of him singning..... Do you reckon Blackie would drop Butler and play Foxe instead? Nothings been said about the German guy for a while though......

Can't see Butler being dropped to be honest. Although if Foxe does sign and Butler is kept in the side whilst the aussie is on the bench then Blackwell will just get more stick from the fans.
It's becoming too obvious that the lack of pace of Butler (as well as he habit of just booting anywhere) is our main weakness in the team. Get rid of him, and play 2 pacey CB's with ability.

Yeh I agree, from the sounds of it, our defence was our only weakness on Tuesday, the rest of our team sounded like they played great..... I think with the possible back 4 of Kelly, Foxe, Killa, Camara and if we can sign Warner permantly or until the end of the season we'll keep the most clean sheets this season.....

It sounds promising, although I don't know anything about Camara. Seen lots of Celtic fans slating him, so I'm still slightly concerned about the LB position. Can't Foxe play there too?? If so then Blackie might be looking to bring him in instead of Camara so he can keep his beloved Butler in the team.

I think it's pretty likely Foxe will get a contract. Kb wouldn't have brought him back if he wasn't.

Please not Killa Please not Killa Please not Killa Please not Killa Please not Killa I'm sure it's nothing to worry about!! Blackwell must surely know what would happen to him if he got rid of Killa and replaced him with an untried aussie!! Reckon it's time for some positive thoughts on this board! By the time we play Palace on saturday we'll have Foxe and Camara in the squad, we sell Bakke for 5 million to the Blades ( ;D ), and we go on to trounce them 5 nil!! Remember - Balckie's never lost to a london club (apparantly!)
