SHEFFIELD United winger Andre Brooks has joined Championship rivals Norwich City for an substantial undisclosed fee.

Academy product Brooks was one of United’s better performers in an inconsistent season, team-wise for the Blades last term with Chris Wilder hailing his ‘outstanding season’.

But he has now been allowed to move on.

The Sheffielder progressed through the club's famed academy structure after joining aged eight, making his senior debut against Burnley in November 2022.

He played 20 times the following season in the Premier League and then played a major role as United reached the Championship play-off final in May 2025.

Last season he netted six times in 41 appearances in all competitions and also received international recognition after being capped by Jamaica in March 2026.

Brooks said: "I’m absolutely ready for the challenge ahead. Speaking to the gaffer and all of the staff, their ambitions and goals for the season really appealed to me.

"As a winger, I think the head coach will want me to play on both sides, attack and defend, and I feel like I’m the perfect man for that. I’m just going to try and help him and the team as much as I can.

Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper, added: “I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome Andre and his family to Norwich City.

"We have admired him from afar for some time now and when the opportunity arose to sign him, we didn’t hesitate.

"He has been developing well over the past couple of seasons and he joins us at an exciting stage of both his and our journeys.

"He has solid experience across both the Championship and Premier League and he’s someone that we feel still has so much potential for growth.

"We have big belief in him and we’re sure that together we can achieve great things."
