From the official site. An interesting last sentance confirms we've
seen the last of Frazer. Is this because his demands are too high or
does Larry not rate him?
I don't know anything about the new guy but I trust Grayson's judgement
on players and this feels like a positive step to me.
Si.

FIRST SUMMER SIGNING: DEFENDER AGREES TO JOIN UNITED
16 Jun 2009
Jason Crowe set to become first signing of summer...
Former Arsenal youngster Jason Crowe is set to become Leeds United's
first signing of the summer after agreeing terms to join the club on July 1.
The 30-year-old right-back has spent the past four seasons at
Northampton, making almost 200 appearances, but his contract at
Sixfields expires on June 30 and he has agreed a move to Elland Road.
Crowe started out at Arsenal, making three appearances for Arsene
Wenger's side, and after a loan move to Crystal Palace, he commanded a
£1m fee when he moved from Highbury to Portsmouth in the summer of 1999.
The Sidcup-born player, who can play at right-back, centre-backor
central midfield, made almost 100 appearances for Pompey, had a short
loan spell at Brentford, and enjoyed a period with Grimsby before
linking up with Northampton.
United manager Simon Grayson
<http://www.leedsunited.com/page/Manager/0,,10273,00.html> said: "I'm
delighted Jason has agreed to join us. There was a lot of interest in
him and we've beaten a number of clubs to get him.
"He's a versatile right-back, and he's been a very consistent performer
over the last couple of seasons.
"He has good experience, having started with Arsenal and playing
regularly for Portsmouth.
"I see Jason as another valuable member of our squad with the aim being
to get promoted next season."
Following the signing of Jason Crowe, the club will not be continuing
discussions with Frazer Richardson, who is out of contract on June 30.
