Sheffield United have raided Sky Bet League One promotion rivals Bradford for striker James Hanson.
The Bantams announced on Monday that they had accepted a bid for the 29-year-old and the Blades have wasted little time in securing Hanson on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder told the club's official website: "James gives us something different and we believe there is more to come from him.
"We've seen a lot of him over the years and he is a very difficult striker to play against.
"James has been part of some success at Bradford, he has been part of a winning team and hopefully he is joining another one."
Hanson, who scored 91 goals in 335 appearances for Bradford, follows Jay O'Shea through the door at Bramall Lane after the midfielder arrived on loan from Chesterfield earlier in the day.
