Douglas was signed on loan on the same day that we sold Matthew Spring to Watford at the start of the 2005-06 season.
Douglas started in the 2-0 League Cup victory over Oldham and his home debut was in the 3-3 draw with Brighton (10/9/05) in which he scored the sensational added-on-time equaliser.
He signed permanently for Leeds United on 31 August 2006.
Jonathan was captain of the club during the 2007-08 season but Gary McAllister replaced him as captain for the 2008-09 season with Frazer Richardson who is the loan survivor of the club from the Premier League days.
Jonathan's contract
expires at the end of this League One season and his removal as captain suggests a new contract will not be offered.
Douglas is free to negotiate with another club on 1 January 2009.
There were unsubstantiated rumours that Burnley were interested in signing Douglas just before the 2008-09 season kicked off but there should be no shortage of suitors for a player who is a current Republic of Ireland international.
Sidelined at the start of the season Jonathan gave an excellent display in the 4-0 destruction of Championship side Crystal Palace, including scoring the opening goal.
