Sheffield United have signed Danny Ings on a free transfer after the former England striker was released by West Ham United earlier this summer.

The 33-year-old has agreed a one-year contract, with an option for an extension, following a short training period with the club.

Ings will boost the forward options for the Blades, who are without a point so far this season and are bottom of the Championship table having scored one goal in their three league defeats.

Ings scored once in 15 Premier League games for the Hammers last season - one of only five in 69 appearances after signing from Aston Villa in January 2023.

"I've been keeping myself fit and I've just been waiting for the right opportunity," Ings told the Blades website, external.

"I thought this was a great one for me and a chance to progress my career as well."
