Sheffield United have signed Ipswich Town defender Harry Clarke on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old won promotion to the Premier League with Ipswich last season and has made seven top-flight appearances for them this campaign.

He is the fourth player to join the Blades, who are second in the Championship, this month after midfielder Hamza Choudhury and forwards Ben Brereton Diaz and Tom Cannon.

“Where the boys are here, going for promotion, it was a no-brainer really,” he told the club website., external

“It’s a tough league; anyone can beat anyone on their day. I know what it took last year so hopefully I can bring that experience.

“I am young but I’ve been there, so hopefully we can achieve something this year.”

Clarke started his career at Arsenal and had loan spells with Oldham, Ross County, Hibernian and Stoke before joining his hometown team Ipswich in January 2023.

He helped Ipswich finish second in League One that season and was part of the squad that secured back-to-back promotions the following campaign as they finished second in the Championship.
