Sheffield United paid 'significant fee' to sign Harrison Burrows from Peterborough

The Blades have bolstered their squad ahead of a bid to immediately return to the Premier League with the signing of Harrison Burrows.

Peterborough left-back Burrows, 22, was one of the stand-out performers in the third tier last season and has joined the Blades until 2028 for a “significant fee”, according to the South Yorkshire club.

Burrows captained Posh to the League One play-offs last term, scoring 12 goals and assisting 18 more in 58 appearances.

“Harrison’s performances over the last couple of seasons have made him a wanted man, and I think it’s a real tick in the box for us, as a club, that he has decided his future is best served by coming here,” said Blades boss Chris Wilder.

The relegated Blades start their Championship campaign away to Preston on August 9.
