The Reds have the option of extending the 6ft 5in Dane’s deal by a further year, with the giant centre-back relishing the challenge of testing himself in English football at Oakwell – and more especially sampling the physical side of the game.

Anderson, 21, said: “I think it is the right step for me. It is a good club, it is a good choice for me; everything I have been told sounds really good and I am happy to be here and we are in a good division. I am ready for the next step now.

“English football is physical and has a lot of duels. I love duels, it is good and hard working. The league is a big league so I am very excited.”

Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town have completed the signing of Leyton Orient forward Josh Koroma – their second signing in the space of a two days after the capture of Forest Green midfielder Reece Brown.

Koroma, 20, has signed a three-year deal with the option of another year.

On joining the Terriers, the forward, who struck 11 goals for the O’s last term, said: I am very happy, it has been a long time coming.

Goalkeeper Westwood and defender Palmer are understood to have signed new two-year contracts and Lee will remain with the Owls for a further 12 months – and the announcements are set to be officially confirmed next week.

Bradford City have appointed John Vaughan as the club’s new goalkeeping coach following his recent departure from Barnsley.

The 54-year-old arrives at the club an initial one-year contract.
