Sheffield have signed half-back Izaac Farrell on a one-year deal from Rochdale.

The 21-year-old came through the ranks at Huddersfield and made 12 appearances for the Hornets in the Championship last season.

Farrell said: “I am really happy to have been given the opportunity to prove myself in the Championship.

“Under a coach like Mark Aston, I can definitely see myself improving game by game in the future.

“I had the chance to play against the Eagles towards the back-end of the 2019 season and I thought it was a good opportunity to express myself and try to earn myself a spot at a club like Sheffield.

“When I got the chance to sign for the Eagles, it was a no-brainer really.”
