Albion midfielder Oliver Norwood's move to Sheffield United has been confirmed.

The Northern Ireland international has joined the Blades on loan until January, when his switch to Yorkshire will become permanent.

Boss Chris Hughton said: "Ollie was one of our promotion-winning team in 2016-17 and will rightly be remembered as part of that historic team which took the club to the Premier League.

"He is keen to play regular senior football and this move to Sheffield United provides him that opportunity. On behalf of everyone at the club I'd like to thank Ollie for his efforts and wish him all the very best for the future."

Norwood played 37 games in all competitions in Albion's promotion year after arriving from Reading on a free transfer.

The 27-year-old was promoted again from the Championship last season with Fulham, where he made 47 appearances.
