Former Leeds United captain Liam Cooper has joined Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia.

The 33-year-old defender was a free agent after his deal with the Whites expired at the end of June.

His move ends a 10-year spell with the Elland Road club, during which time he made 263 league appearances and skippered them to promotion to the Premier League in 2020.

Chief executive Angus Kinnear called the Scotland international "a warrior on the pitch and an ambassador off it".
