Harte Return?

14 May 2010 16:10
Leeds United are lining up a surprise move to bring defender Ian Harte back to Elland Road. Skysports.com understands Simon Grayson is beginning his plans to reshape his squad and is weighing up a move to bring former crowd favourite Harte back to the club. Harte has enjoyed a great season with Carlisle United, scoring 18 goals from defence and earning a place in the League One PFA Team of the Year. Carlisle have offered the left-back a new deal at Brunton Park as they look to ward off interested parties, but as yet no contract has been agreed. A number of clubs are thought to be monitoring Harte's situation at Carlisle, with the likes of Watford, Norwich and Queens Park Rangers all admirers of the full-back. However, Leeds are ready to steal a march on their rivals by making a move for the Republic of Ireland ace. Harte could be tempted by a move away from Carlisle with the opportunity of plying his trade at a higher level than League One.
