Geoff Horsfield

Scunthorpe have completed the loan signing of Sheffield United striker Geoff Horsfield until the end of the season.

Horsfield, who has not appeared for the Blades in the Championship this season, will go straight into Scunthorpe's squad for the visit of Charlton on Saturday.

The 34-year-old is the second Blades player currently on loan at Scunthorpe, with Mamadou Seck extending his temporary deal until May earlier in the week.

The Blades paid £1.2million to West Brom in May 2006 for Horsfield, who started his career at Halifax.

He counts Fulham, Birmingham and Wigan among his former clubs and has had loan spells with Leeds and Leicester.

As part of the contract, Horsfield will not be eligible to play against United when they take on Scunthorpe at Bramall Lane on February 9.
