Leeds United need a short term plug at right-back.
Leeds United are without Luke Ayling for the next two months after the right-back suffered a MCL sprain against Nottingham Forest.
With Gaetano Berardi also out with injury, Leeds are looking more stretched at the position than they would like.
One possible short term option is to look at signing a free agent, and one name who is available is currently training with local rivals Bradford City.
Paul Caddis is currently training with the Bantams [via Telegraph and Argus] with a view to signing a new deal after leaving Blackburn Rovers.
In terms of what Leeds need, on a short term deal, Caddis could fill the void until Ayling returns.
The former Celtic defender spent four seasons at Birmingham between 2013 and 2017, making more than 140 Championship appearances.
He then signed with Blackburn Rovers for a season, playing 14 times as they won promotion.
At 30-years-old the former Scotland international could be a useful option as a squad player for Leeds until Ayling returns at the end of the year.
Leeds cannot dip into the transfer market until January and their decision to only sign one defender in the summer leaves their squad stretched.
Caddis could bolster them on a short term basis and give them the experience they need to help keep their strong run going.
