Last updated : 24 July 2018 By CNS Sport/AO

Former Coventry City loanee David McGoldrick has signed for Sheffield United.

The Republic Of Ireland international, was not offered a new deal by Ipswich Town and joined The Blades on trial, playing in two pre-season games against Bradford City and Mansfield Town.

McGoldrick has now signed a one year deal with the possibility of an extension and scored for United tonight in their 1-1 draw against Inter Milan.

United boss Chris boss Wilder told his club's website about McGoldrick: "I've continually said that we only want to bring in players who strengthen us and David ticks that box. He's a great link player, has a wealth of Championship experience and he may be coming into the best years of his career.

"David wanted to return north and this was too good an opportunity to turn down. His attitude and ability, not only in the matches he has played, but also on the training ground, is without question. I've spoken to a number of respected people about David and they cannot speak highly enough of him."
