Stead Move Permanent


By Aston

Town have signed Sheffield United striker Jon Stead permanently after the player agreed terms on a three-year deal at Town towards the end of last week. The 25-year-old striker marked his Town debut with Town's first goal in the 2-0 win against Reading on Saturday and the paper work to make his move permanent was finalised today.

Town's Chief Executive Derek Bowden: "It was always our intention to sign Jon on a permanent deal after we had agreed a fee with Sheffield, but to avoid trying to rush things through at the last minute, with Jon having to race down here from Sheffield on deadline day, we agreed the loan. That gave us the proper time to discuss personal terms which have now been agreed."

The deal will keep Stead at Portman Road until the summer of 2011.
