Sheffield United have completed the double signing of defender Chris Hussey and winger Mark Duffy on two-year deals.

The duo, previously of Bury and Birmingham City respectively, have become new manager Chris Wilder's first additions to the Blades squad after he took over from Nigel Adkins last month.

Duffy, 30, spent last season on loan at Burton Albion, making 45 league appearances as the Brewers won the League One title, while Hussey, 27, joins for an undisclosed fee after making 50 appearances for the Shakers last season.

Wilder is set to embark upon a major overhaul of the squad he inherited from his predecessor after releasing 10 players and declaring another seven surplus to requirements last month.
