The 31-year-old has signed from Qatari side Al-Arabi Sports Club, having spent the first half of the season on loan at Elland Road.
The former Swansea City man, who won the League Cup with the Welsh side, has bagged three goals in 18 appearances for Gary Monk’s side so far this season, as well as picking up a further three assists.
The club teased the announcement on Twitter earlier this morning, stating that they had tied up the deal but would wait to reveal the name.
