United have added extra firepower to the forward ranks after securing a deal to sign an England international striker.

OFFICIAL:

Free agent Patrick Bamford has agreed a short-term contract until January with the Blades and brings with him a wealth of experience at Premier League and Championship level.

The 32-year-old has been looking for a club since leaving Leeds United following promotion to the Premier League last season.

Starting his career at Nottingham Forest, he moved to Chelsea in 2012 and embarked on a number of loan moves where he consistently scored goals for the likes of MK Dons, Derby County and Middlesbrough.

After short loan stays at Crystal Palace, Norwich City and Burnley, he rejoined Middlesbrough on a permanent basis in 2017 for a fee believed to be in the region of £5.5m.

Another big-money move to Leeds United followed in 2018 with his goals assisting in promotion to the Premier League in 2020.

He continued to score in the top flight, leading to a full England cap in 2021 against Andorra in a World Cup qualifier.

Bamford played 18 times for Leeds last season in all competitions, earning another promotion but departed Elland Road at the end of August this year.
