Blades agree deal to sign Hulse
bbc.co.uk
Sheffield United have clinched a deal to sign striker Rob Hulse from Leeds United for an initial fee of £2.2m that could rise to £3m with add-ons.
The deal represents good business for Leeds, who signed the 26-year-old for £1.1m when he joined from West Brom last summer after a loan spell.
Hulse scored 14 goals for Leeds last season and 20 goals in all in 51 games for the club.
The striker began his career at Crewe before moving on to West Brom.
The club announced that Hulse would soon sign a three-year contract.
Manager Neil Warnock said: "It has been a lengthy chase and I am delighted that it has ultimately been successful. "I feel Rob still has a lot to prove but he has strengths which I am sure will compliment those of the strikers we already have."
