Sheffield United sign former Everton midfielder on free transfer | OneFootball

Sheffield United have confirmed the signing of former Everton midfielder Tom Davies.

Davies became a free agent this summer after rising through the ranks at Goodison Park and spending eight years in its first team.

The 25-year-old has signed a three-year contract at Bramall Lane as the Blades bid to consolidate their Premier League return.

“I’m made up to be here and can’t wait to get started,” said Davies.

“It was time for me to go from the previous club to join Sheffield United and I’m really excited for it, I think it is a great project that the team have here and I’m full of enthusiasm and hunger to get going.

“The Premier League is the best league in the world so when Sheffield United came knocking I thought this was the place to be, playing against the best teams and the best players.

“I played here (Bramall Lane) twice during Covid, and I think that helped Everton, but I’m looking forward to getting on the pitch in front of the full crowd and showing the fans what I’m about.”

Davies made 179 appearances for Everton and made history as the club’s youngest-ever captain at the age of 20 years and 60 days.
