Fleetwood Town are delighted to confirm the signing of defender Finley Potter from Premier League side Sheffield United on an 18-month contract, with the club holding an option for a further year.
The 19-year-old arrives with plenty of first-team experience under his belt as he has spent the last season-and-a-half on loan at National League side Barnet, where he managed to make more than 30 appearances and played a key part in helping them reach the National League play-offs and the FA Trophy semi-final.
Before this, the centre half – who has earned multiple international caps for England at Under-18s level - featured in the Blades’ Under-18s side and played a part in helping them win the Professional Development League title in a season where they managed to keep the best defensive record of any team in the league.
The new number 32 will now join up with the rest of the squad and will be eligible for Saturday’s Sky Bet League One clash against Port Vale.
