Leeds Land Stewart

Hull winger Cameron Stewart has signed a three-year deal with Leeds having initially joined the club on loan .The 22-year-old's full-time contract at Elland Road will become effective from the summer, but he is expected to go straight into boss Brian McDermott's squad for Saturday's derby clash at Sheffield Wednesday. McDermott said in a Leeds statement: "Cameron fits the bill as the type of player we are looking to recruit here. He has pace, he gives us something different and he is hungry to do well." Stewart has joined Leeds on an initial loan deal due to FIFA regulations preventing a player from featuring for more than two clubs in a season, other than on an emergency loan basis. McDermott added: "We were aware of Cameron's situation and rules are rules. "By joining us in this manner, it means we have a player who we know will be here for the next three-and-a-half years and we look forward to working with him for the long-term." Leeds chairman Salah Nooruddin said: "We're delighted we've been able to secure the signature of Cameron. "He is a young player who was attracting a lot of interest from clubs in the Championship, including a couple who are above us in the table at the moment, and he is a player Brian was keen to sign." Stewart, who scored against Leeds in their 4-2 win at Charlton in November, started out at Manchester United and had loan spells at Yeovil and Hull before signing a permanent deal with the latter in January 2011. He made 55 appearances for Hull and also had loan spells at Burnley and Blackburn before featuring 18 times for Charlton on loan this season.

Match Report:Leeds United 2-3 Hull City

Becchio slots home his penalty

Neil Warnock made two enforced changes due to injury, Luke Varney coming in for Adam Drury and El-Hadji Diouf replacing Ross McCormack. And it was Diouf who threatened first when he won an early corner as United mounted the first real attack of the game. Moments later, Diouf was the main man again when he won a penalty after being clipped by Hull defender James Dudgeon on the edge of the box. Luciano Becchio stepped up to take the spot-kick and he coolly converted. It gave United the early advantage and, clearly a real boost, with Rodolph Austin having a shot blocked on the line and Diouf being denied by Ben Amos. The game marked an Elland Road return for Alex Bruce and he was booked inside 20 minutes for excessive protesting. The former United man had made his feelings clear after the penalty decision and clashed with the referee again after a Sam Byram challenge on Abdoulaye Faye. But Hull were level on 23 minutes when the ball broke kindly to Ahmed Elmohamady after a mix-up, and the Egyptian was handed an easy finish. And the visitors were swiftly in front Faye found plenty of space to head a right wing cross beyond the reach of Paddy Kenny. The first half continued to be a feisty affair, but there were no real chances for either side as Hull went in 2-1 to the good. Austin tried his luck at the start of the second period, and his effort was followed by a worrying delay while Becchio received treatment after taking a knock on the ankle. The South American was swiftly replaced by Dominic Poleon. The sub made a couple of early runs to lift the crowd and he also forced a good save from Amos after he cut in from the left. But it was 3-1 to Hull on 76 minutes when Robert Koren finished off a sweeping move forward by tucking the ball Kenny. The goal appeared to end the game as a contest, but United did rally briefly. Amos had to smother when under pressure and Poleon sent a shot wide after good work by Andy Gray. And it was Gray who made his mark in the first minute of stoppage time when he headed home from a corner to reduce the deficit to set up a tense finale. Lee Peltier did try his luck from distance and United looked to salvage something, but the clock ended any hopes of a comeback.
