Joining Leeds 'an easy choice' - Bard

[Getty Images] New Leeds United signing Melvin Bard has said the history "makes the club an attractive one" after joining from Ligue 1 side Nice on an initial loan deal. There is an option to make the 25-year-old French left-back's move permanent. "Leeds is a historic club in the Premier League so it was an easy choice," Bard said. "I can't wait to discover the city, the stadium, my team-mates as well, and to start playing in front of the fans. "Playing in the Premier League has always been a dream of mine, ever since I was a child. When the opportunity came, I seized it immediately. "I would describe myself as someone who never gives up as a player. I am a defender and I love to defend. I love to attack as well, of course. But to sum it up, I would just say I like the fight and I never give up."
