Sheffield United sign Lyle Taylor

Sheffield United have completed the signing of former Millwall trainee Lyle Taylor on a two-year deal from Falkirk.

The 23-year-old striker, who joined the Bairns from Bournemouth last summer, scored 29 goals in the Scottish First Division last season.

He becomes the fifth man through the door at Bramall Lane since new manager David Weir took charge.

"Lyle will be a great addition to our squad," the Scottish manager told the club's official website. "He is young, hungry and scored plenty of goals at Falkirk last season.

"We have fought off competition to secure his signature and we are delighted he has chosen to join Sheffield United."

The Blades have already signed Sean McGinty, Stephen McGinn, Febian Brandy and Jasper Johns on permanent deals as well as loaning Conor Coady from Liverpool.
