Wycombe Wanderers snap up ex-Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton man Danny Ings after Sheffield United exit
Danny Ings has found a new club following his Sheffield United exit
Danny Ings has been snapped up by Wycombe Wanderers following the expiry of his Sheffield United contract.
The 34-year-old joined the Blades in August last year, penning a one-year deal with the Championship club. He managed 24 appearances for the South Yorkshire outfit, scoring twice before seeing his deal run out.
After a period on the free agent market, Ings has now sealed a return to the EFL with third-tier Wycombe.
Danny Ings finds new club
The former England international has been given shirt number 28 and could make his Chairboys debut against Reading tomorrow (September 26).
Wycombe’s director of football strategy and data intelligence Tom Stockwell, who knows Ings from their time together at Southampton, said: “We are excited to welcome Danny Ings to Wycombe Wanderers.
“Danny is an attacking player with top quality and a huge amount of experience at the top of the game. We believe Danny can help the team on and off the pitch.
“He joined up with the team Friday last week and has trained with the group since, so we know he’s fit and sharp, and ready to have an immediate impact.”
Danny Ings’ career path
Ings cut his teeth with AFC Bournemouth before enjoying a goal-laden spell with Burnley. It was his exploits in the colours of the Clarets that attracted Liverpool, who secured his signature in 2015.
He had an injury-plagued spell at Anfield and left in 2019, spending time with Southampton, Aston Villa and West Ham United before his arrival at Sheffield United.
Wycombe have also struck a deal to sign former Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith following his West Bromwich Albion exit.
The 30-year-old spent the second hal of last season on loan at Middlesbrough, playing second-fiddle to Sol Brynn at the Riverside.
