36 Championship free agents still available to sign including ex-Sheffield United duo

Another busy summer transfer window has now officially been and gone and clubs must now wait until January before they can continue to do business with rival sides. The Championship window slammed shut on Friday but there are some deals that can still be done if teams are looking for further new signings to see them through to the new year.

The free agent pool is always a great option for clubs to dip into when finances are low or they’ve run out of time to negotiate with other teams. As things stand, there are plenty of Championship players currently without a club, waiting to be snapped up without the complications of transfer fees.

Sheffield United had a busy window for both incomings and outgoings and their business included releasing multiple senior players upon the expiration of their contracts. The likes of Oli McBurnie, George Baldock and Max Lowe all joined new sides this summer on free deals, with the latter moving to rivals Sheffield Wednesday in July.

There are currently still two former Blades players without clubs, though, and they are in good company with other impressive players yet to sign for a new team. We’ve rounded up all the remaining free agents still available to sign outside of the transfer window, including the last remaining duo from Bramall Lane.
