Leeds United flop Felix Wiedwald has clinched a transfer to his third club in the space of a year.

Leeds terminated Wiedwald’s deal in the summer after the German goalkeeper struggled at Elland Road.

He joined Eintracht Frankfurt, where he has been third choice.

Now Wiedwald has signed a loan deal with German second division side Duisberg, Waz.de report.

The error prone goalkeeper played previously for Duisberg between 2011 and 2013.

Sporting director Ivo Grlic suggested he was happy with the move, commenting: “We know Felix, he knows us.”

Duisberg currently sit 16th in the Bundesliga II, in the relegation play-off places.

Wiedwald signed for Leeds in 2017 and had a decent start before he began to cost the team goals with errors.

He ended the season being displaced by Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Leeds chose to dispense with his services one year into a three year deal.

Having spent nearly all of 2018 on the bench or in the stands for Leeds and Frankfurt, Wiedwald at least will now have the opportunity to play again.
