Done grateful for role change

Done, 26, who signed a two-and-half-year deal at Bramall Lane on transfer deadline day after the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee, joined the Blades as a goalscorer less than six months after playing his first game up front.

He won promotion last season with Rochdale as a left-back, but fired a hat-trick in a 5-2 win at Crewe in August in his first game as a striker and has scored another 11 goals in 27 appearances since.

“I’ve loved every minute at this football club, working with the gaffer and the lads, from top to bottom,” Done told Rochdale’s official website.

“But I just felt now at my age I couldn’t turn this opportunity down to go and play for a club the size of Sheffield United.”

Done added: “I’ll forever be grateful to the gaffer and especially Beechy, it was his masterplan to actually ring me one night at the start of the season, before the Crewe game, and have the conversation.

“I said to Beechy ‘I’m willing to play anywhere’. I’ll work my hardest in any position, but I’d never actually played up front.

“I never thought I’d be able to, I don’t know why. I didn’t see myself as a centre-forward. I’ve never played there even when I was a kid, I was always in midfield or left-back.

“But we worked on it in training leading up to the Crewe game and I started to feel a bit more confident.

“I had the faith in the ability of the lads to give me chances and it went from there.

“So I went to the Crewe game and scored a hat-trick in my first game up front. I’ll forever be grateful to the staff and the gaffer and Chris Beech.”
