Town have signed Australian central defender Patrick Kisnorbo on loan from Leeds until January 29th. The 31-year-old former Leicester man is available for Saturday’s FA Cup third round tie at Aston Villa.
Kisnorbo began his senior career with hometown club South Melbourne, joining Hearts in 2005. After two years in Scotland he moved on to Leicester, where he spent the following four seasons, partnering ex-Blue Gareth McAuley at the heart of the Foxes' defence before his departure for Portman Road.
Capped 18 times by Australia, scoring once, the 6ft 2in tall centre-half has made only one Capital One Cup appearance for the Whites this season.
Town were in need of an additional central defender after Danny Higginbotham joined Sheffield United from Stoke at the end of his loan spell. Kisnorbo will wear the number six shirt while with the Blues.
