Sheffield United have signed Brentford captain John Egan for an undisclosed club-record fee on a four-year deal.
The 25-year-old defender scored seven goals in 71 games during two seasons with the Championship side, following a switch from Gillingham.
The Republic of Ireland international, capped twice by boss Martin O’Neill, had a previous one-game loan stint with the Blades from Sunderland in 2012.
