Sheffield United have announced the signing of midfielder Leon Britton on a three-year deal from fellow Championship club Swansea.

The 27-year-old is the third new player to move to Bramall Lane following the arrivals of striker Daniel Bogdanovic from Barnsley and Crystal Palace defender Johnny Ertl, and he joins the Blades on a free transfer.

Britton said: "There was interest from the Premier League and I spoke to a couple of people there but it wasn't right for me - but Sheffield United was.

"This is a massive club. I was here with Swansea for the penultimate one and the special atmosphere from that day is still fresh in my mind."
