Leeds have confirmed the signing of defender Melvin Bard from French side Nice.

The 25-year-old French left-back has joined on an initial loan with an option to make the deal permanent.

Bard made 193 appearances across five seasons at Nice, playing European football in the Conference League and Europa League.

He becomes the Whites' sixth signing of the summer as they look to build on last season's 14th-place finish.
