Leeds United have confirmed the return of defender Sam Byram ahead of the new Championship season.
Leeds have re-signed defender Sam Byram on a free transfer following his departure from Norwich earlier this summer.
Byram, 29, who made over 140 appearances for Leeds before departing for West Ham in 2016, has agreed a one-year deal at Elland Road.
Leeds said: "Leeds United are delighted to announce Sam Byram has re-signed for the club.
"The full-back arrives back at Elland Road on a free transfer, following the expiration of his contract at fellow Sky Bet Championship side Norwich City."
Byram, who made his professional debut for Leeds aged 18, spent two-and-a-half years at West Ham and had a loan spell at Nottingham Forest before Norwich signed him for £750,000 in 2019.
He has reunited with Leeds head coach Daniel Farke - who was in charge of Norwich for over four years until 2021 - and is the third summer signing at Elland Road following the arrivals of Ethan Ampadu and Karl Darlow.
Farke could include Byram in his starting line-up in Sunday's opening Sky Bet Championship match at home to Cardiff.
