Ex-Sheffield United defender Filip Uremovic joins Bundesliga after leaving Bramall Lane

Filip Uremovic has joined Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin after leaving Sheffield United.

The defender joined the Blades on loan from Russian side Rubin Kazan in March, after his contract was suspended.

The 25-year-old played three times for Paul Heckingbottom's side but was not offered a permanent deal following the expiration of his loan.

Hertha moved for the Croatian after their defender Niklas Stark made the switch to Werder Bremen.

"With Filip Uremovic, we have a young player who has already gained a lot of experience in various leagues," added Hertha managing director Fredi Bobic.

"We are impressed by his robustness in challenges and leadership on the pitch."
