Neil Warnock has revealed that he is keen to make Martin Cranie part of his Leeds United squad.

Former England youth international Cranie, who is a free agent following his release from Coventry City earlier this summer, has been training with the Whites over the past few days.

Warnock has been impressed with what he has seen so far and is now planning to offer the 25-year-old a contract at Elland Road.

"He's a steady player and what I'd call a squad player," Warnock told the Yorkshire Evening Post. "Where it goes from here really depends on what Martin's looking for and what we can afford to offer him.

"He's calm, collected and a good lad who's fitted in well with the other players. We just need to chat things over and see what happens."

Cranie has also played for Southampton and Portsmouth during his career.
