"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." 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."
Danny Ings, 33, has signed for Sheffield United on a free transfer after being released by West Ham, agreeing a one-year contract with an option for extension following a short training spell. The signing aims to bolster a forward line that has scored only once in three Championship defeats, leaving the Blades bottom without a point. Ings scored once in 15 Premier League appearances for West Ham last season and had five goals in 69 games since joining from Aston Villa in January 2023. His career includes prolific spells at Burnley and Southampton, a move to Liverpool hampered by knee injuries, and stints at Aston Villa and West Ham.
