Sheffield United have captured their third signing of the summer, fighting off other interest to bag Swansea City midfielder Leon Britton.

Britton, was out of contract in South Wales, and despite offers from other Championship clubs, and Premier League Wigan, managed by his former employer Roberto Martinezm opted to join the Blades.

Speaking of his move to Bramall Lane, Britton said:
‘There was interest from the Premiership and I spoke to a couple of people there but it wasn’t right for me – Sheffield United was.’

‘First and foremost this is a massive club, you only have to look at the average attendance last season. I was here with Swansea for the penultimate one and the special atmosphere from that day is still fresh in my mind.’


Britton is the third new face at Bramall Lane, joining Daniel Bogdanovic and Johannes Ertl who have already signed.
