Loan window countdown: Leeds, Hull, Owls, Millers

LEEDS UNITED and Championship rivals Sheffield Wednesday have made double raids ahead of the closure of the emergency loan window to bolster their squads.

United boss Neil Warnock, given the green light by new owners GFH Capital to bring in new recruits, has wasted no time to do some business, bringing in veteran Swansea City centre-half Alan Tate and West Brom winger Jerome Thomas - with the pair signing on loan until January.

Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday Dave Jones has boosted his ranks with the dual signings of Stoke City forward Mamady Sibide and young Manchester City left-back Jeremy Helan for a month.
