Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock claims he invested in potential by signing Colin Kazim-Richards from Brighton.

The 20-year-old forward has put pen to paper on a three-year deal at Bramall Lane after the Blades agreed to pay £150,000 for his services.

Kazim-Richards struggled to make an impact at Brighton following his move from Bury in the summer of 2005, scoring only six goals in 43 league outings.

However, Warnock told United's official website: "We thought that in the circumstances, after a couple of our targets fell through, he would be a good signing.

"He has shown in the past that he has potential and we're hoping he will progress like we think he can.

"He's had a stop-start time at Brighton but we will give him the chance to impress and improve."
