Reece Brown left Bury at the end of last season

Sheffield United have added to their squad by signing defender Reece Brown on a contract until January.

The 24-year-old, whose previous clubs include Oldham, Barnsley and Bury, impressed during a trial.

Brown, the younger brother of former England defender Wes, was signed in time for him to be available for Saturday's game against Scunthorpe.

"He adds weight to our squad and knows the division well," manager Chris Wilder told United's website.

"He has done everything we have asked of him, trained well and impressed.

"His pedigree is good and this is an opportunity to earn a longer deal."
