Andy O'Brien refuses to play for Leeds United and manager Simon Grayson says the defender will not appear for the club again.

Leeds boss Simon Grayson has said that Andy O'Brien will never play for the club again after refusing to appear against Burnley yesterday.

The 32-year-old has been criticised by Whites fans recently and went to Grayson on Friday saying he no longer wanted to play for the club.

"It came as a shock, especially after I have backed him publicly and privately over the last few weeks," Grayson said.

"He won't play for this football club again as long as I am here."

The defender has made three Championship appearances for the sixth-placed club who went on to win at Turfmoor.
