Howard - loan switch.

Sheffield United have completed the signing of Barnsley winger Brian Howard on loan with a view to a permanent deal.

Howard was left out of the Tykes squad to face Norwich last weekend, leading to speculation that he would be leaving the club and after protracted talks between the two clubs, the move has now been confirmed.

A statement on the Tykes' official website read: "The club have agreed a loan fee of £200,000 for the services of Brian Howard and a further £300,000 will be paid when his transfer is completed in due course.

"Other improved conditional payments have been agreed based on Sheffield United's original offer, including sell-on arrangements."
