WANDERERS' new recruit Lubomir Michalik has joined Championship basement club Leeds United on a month's loan.

The Slovakian international defender, who signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Bolton in January, will get much-needed first-team experience.

The 23-year-old is expected to be in Leeds' squad for their home game against Luton Town today and will return to the Reebok Stadium after playing his final game for the West Yorkshire outfit on April 9, at Colchester United.
