Mason Holgate says "he feels sharp" and is ready "to help the boys" as Sheffield United continue to push for Premier League safety.

The 27-year-old, who spent the first part of this season on loan at Southampton, has made a total of 126 top-flight appearances for Everton since signing in 2015.

"I'm delighted to be here and to finally get it over the line," Holgate said. "I've been waiting all month to get it sorted, obviously involving three teams, it is a little complicated but now we've got it to this point, I cannot wait to get going.

"I feel good, sharp and ready to go. This is the best league in the world that's why everyone aspires to play in it, I've played in it a bit now and hopefully I can come in and help the boys.

"Chris (Wilder) has faith and believes in me, he has told me what he thinks I can add to the team and I think I can do that so it makes sense to make this happen."
