O’Kane, who was due to be in Martin O’Neill’s squad for tonight’s friendly against Oman, has put pen-to-paper on a two-year deal at Elland Road.
The 26-year-old made 16 appearances for Bournemouth in the Premier League last season but the impending arrival of Jack Wilshere at the Vitality Stadium would likely have reduced his first-team opportunities.
He hasn’t featured for Eddie Howe’s side this season but will hope to make an instant impact at Leeds, who are already struggling in 21st place under new boss Garry Monk.
