Patrick Bamford has committed his future to Sheffield United, penning an 18-month contract following an impressive spell at the club since joining in November.
The 32-year-old, who was previously at Leeds, initially signed a short-term deal and has caught the attention of fans and teammates alike with standout performances, including six goals in all competitions.
Speaking about his new contract, Bamford described said: "Really excited and obviously happy that it's kind of been closed off now."
"It's one of them when you get the uncertainty for a bit, it's just that kind of what's going to happen, what's not going to happen, so I was really happy to get it done now.”
"The worst thing is kind of not knowing whether you're coming or going, or what's going to happen, or whether I'm going to have to move the family. There's so many ifs, buts and maybes and to finally have that all settled just makes it a lot more seamless."
“As a footballer, you always want to be in a place where you're kind of admired, loved and, I guess, appreciated. So, that was important and obviously important to get on with the group as well as soon as I came in.
"The boys have been great, the staff have been great, and it was like a seamless transition from going to training on your own and then training with the boys."
