Sheffield United midfielder James Harper has made his loan move from Reading permanent.
The 29-year-old joined the Blades on transfer deadline day last September on a season-long loan but has now penned a full-time deal with the Blades.
He played a key part in United's 3-0 win over the Royals in midweek, and boss Kevin Blackwell said: "He has started to really develop now, he is getting on the ball and is an infectious character.
"Reading missed having someone like him the other night."
