Chris Lucketti has been granted a free transfer to join Huddersfield Town.

The experienced Blades defender did not feature heavily for the Blades last season and finished the season on loan at Southampton, where he helped keep the Saints in the Championship.

Lucketti, 36, played more than 20 games for the Blades after signing when the club were on the verge of reaching the Premiership. He is also a former Huddersfield Town player and chalked up 75 appearances for them in a two-year spell.

He joins up once again with Stan Ternant, who was one of his managers at Bury earlier in his career.

Blades boss Kevin Blackwell sanctioned the move and paid tribute to Lucketti:

"It's a fantastic move for Chris whom I have always regarded as a terrific professional. A two year contract at a good club with a good manager is great for him and he will do well for them. IN fact, I will be putting a few bob on Huddersfield for promotion!"
