Sheffield United spent the sixth lowest of any Championship club on players throughout that time.
Two former Sheffield United players acted as intermediaries in transactions involving the Blades between February 2017 and January 2018, as revealed by the Football Association website.
Tyrone Thompson and Jake Speight – who progressed through United’s academy three years apart in the early 2000s – helped to broker deals for defenders Jake Wright and Ben Heneghan, respectively.
Thompson, who fell into non-league football after his 2003 release by the Blades, later started TB8 Management Services Ltd – to which Wright is a long-term client.
And Speight followed a similar path, dropping down the divisions before developing Fifteen Eleven Management, which represents Heneghan.
Among the other intermediaries used by Sheffield United during the specified period are David Robson-Kanu – brother of West Brom winger, Hal – and Peter McIntosh – Wayne Rooney’s first agent – who helped to broker deals for David Brooks and Livesey Mason, respectively.
In total, the Blades paid £652,070 to intermediaries between February 2017 and January 2018 – the sixth lowest of any Championship club.
The divisional average spend was around £1,750,000.
