Woodburn has officially signed for the Championship side on a deal until the end of the 2018/19 campaign.

He was pulled out of Liverpool’s USA tour earlier this week, with the club keen to loan him out before the start of the season.

Aston Villa were said to be the favourites to land his signature over the weekend, with Wigan and Norwich previously having been touted with interest.

He has now decided to move to Sheffield and play under Chris Wilder in the Championship.

The Welsh international had played his part for Jurgen Klopp in pre-season, but was not able to impress enough to earn himself a place in the German’s first-team plans for the upcoming campaign.
