MLS champions LA Galaxy are reportedly in talks with Leeds over the availability of defender Alex Bruce.

The defender is out of favour at Elland Road, making only one appearance for the Whites this season.

He was sent on loan to Huddersfield where he made three starts before being recalled by Leeds boss Simon Grayson to provide cover for Tom Lees.

English born Bruce switched international allegiance in 2011 from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland but a lack of first-team opportunities mean he has yet to force his way into the international squad.

According to Sky Sports, Galaxy officials have contacted Leeds to see if they'd be willing to offload Bruce and allow the defender to join the club ahead of the new MLS season.
