“We’ve been doing a lot of work to identify signings who will add to the group, and we feel Kevin has the ability to do that.

“He’s a versatile defensive player, works hard and has a very good attitude. We’re looking forward to welcoming him into the group and seeing him in action.”

Čustović is eager to get going with the newly promoted Leesiders and said: “I’m a hard-working wing-back.

“I’ve a lot of passion for the game and I want to do well for the team.

“I’m looking forward to playing in front of the fans and I can assure them I will fight to the end in every game for the team.”
