Ward joined Chesterfield from Torquay in January 2007

Sheffield United have completed the signing of Chesterfield striker Jamie Ward on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

The fee for the 22-year-old Birmingham-born forward could rise to �400,000 and features a 15% sell-on clause.

Ward, who was out of contract in the summer, was a trainee at Aston Villa and played for Stockport and Torquay.

The striker, who turned down a move to Barnsley earlier this month after failing to agree personal terms, has scored 16 goals this season.
