Sheffield United sign Jamie Murphy from Motherwell League One Sheffield United have signed Motherwell striker Jamie Murphy for an undisclosed six-figure fee. Murphy, 23, has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract at Bramall Lane. He has been in outstanding form in the Scottish Premier League this season, scoring 11 times in 28 appearances for Stuart McCall's side, including five goals in his last five outings. Blades boss Danny Wilson said: "We are delighted to have secured Jamie because the lad is a real talent." The former Scotland Under-21 international has made 215 appearances for Motherwell since his debut in 2006. Wilson added: "He is quick, strong on the ball and a good runner in possession. He will put defenders on the back foot and will offer us great versatility in forward positions. Jamie has a real eye for goal and will give us that bit extra quality in the final third that we need to unlock some stubborn League One defences. Murphy completed proceedings on his Blades deal after playing his final game for Motherwell, captaining the side in the 1-0 SPL defeat at Celtic on Wednesday.
