Leeds United have confirmed that Giuseppe Bellusci has joined the club on a permanent basis, signing on until 2018.
Bellusci had landed at Elland Road on a season-long loan from Catania recently, but despite not playing a game yet for the Whites, Leeds have seen enough to want to keep the Italian permanently.
The Elland Road club announced: "We can confirm that Giuseppe Bellusci's loan move has now been made permanent, signed until June 2018."
Bellusci was on the bench for Leeds' 2-0 home defeat against Brighton in the Championship on Tuesday evening.
The centre-back, who has received his international clearance, is in the mix to take on Watford this coming weekend.
