Image source, Getty ImagesSheffield 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."
After starting his career at Bournemouth, Ings was picked up by Burnley in August 2011.
He scored 21 goals in 40 Championship games to help the Clarets secure promotion and then 11 more in the Premier League, despite his team ultimately being relegated.
Ings' displays though secured a £8million to move to Liverpool in June 2015.
That move also brought him his first England cap, but his stay at Anfield was dogged by knee injuries and after scoring four times in 25 games over three seasons he was loaned out to Southampton.
That saw him return to goalscoring form and brought a permanent move to St Mary's Stadium in 2019-20, as well as a recall to the England squad after five years..
After bagging 46 goals in 100 games for the Saints Ings moved on to Aston Villa, where he scored 14 in 52 appearances, and then on to West Ham.
