Town have confirmed the signing of winger Cameron Stewart on a three-year deal with an option for a further season. Last week, TWTD revealed that the Blues were eyeing the 23-year-old with his proposed permanent deal at Leeds on the verge of collapsing.
Stewart joined the Whites on loan from Hull in January when he also agreed a three-year permanent contract which would have been formalised today with his contract at the KC Stadium up yesterday.
However, with manager Brian McDermott having moved on and the club now under new owner Massimo Cellino, Leeds were keen to extricate themselves from the arrangement.
Stewart was at Town yesterday to undergo his medical before putting pen to paper on his contract this morning.
The Blues were mentioned in connection with a move for Stewart last summer and then again in January.

Stewart was also previously mentioned in connection with a move to Wolves during Blues assistant boss Terry Connor's time in charge at Molineux.
The left-sided wide man began his career with hometown club Manchester United during which time he went on loan to Yeovil and Hull before moving to the KC Stadium on a permanent basis in January 2011.
Having been on loan at Burnley and Blackburn during 2012/13, the former England U17, U19 and U20 international spent the first half of last season on loan with Charlton before making his move to Leeds in January with his Tigers time up this summer.
