He joins the Blades as a direct replacement for Rob Hulse, who joined Derby on Monday for £1.75million.

Henderson, 26, has signed a four-year contract and the fee could rise depending on his achievements at Bramall Lane.

Doncaster-born Henderson told Sheffield United's official website: "This is a great move for me, coming back home. I've met the lads and there is quality in abundance here."
