Oldham complete Beckett signing

Striker Luke Beckett has set his sights on spearheading Oldham to promotion after completing his season-long loan to the club from Sheffield United.

Beckett, 28, helped the club beat the drop with six goals in nine games in a loan spell at Oldham last season.

"It has taken a long time but I am glad everything is finally sorted out," said Beckett, who said he did not figure in Blades boss Neil Warnock's plans.

"This time I hope we'll be challenging at the other end of the table."

Oldham failed in a �150,000 bid for Beckett but beat off competition from Blackpool and Southend to land the forward.

Beckett added: "Ronnie Moore knows what it takes to get out of this league and I see no reason why we can't be in a promotion battle.

"I knew I had no future at Sheffield United when I was transfer listed just after the season ended.

"The gaffer told me again that I didn't figure in his plans when I went back for pre-season training."
