Liverpool's Davies joins Sheffield United on loan

The versatile 26-year-old defender has departed Anfield for the Championship outfit for a year

Liverpool's Ben Davies has joined Sheffield United on a season-long loan, the Reds have confirmed.

Davies arrived at Anfield in January as emergency defensive cover during an injury crisis, but with the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip now firmly back in the fold, the versatile former Preston man found himself pushed down the pecking order.

There had been sustained interest from Sheffield United in the defender's services and they have now completed the capture of the 26-year-old on a temporary basis.
