Released Sheffield United midfielder Paul Coutts has agreed a two-year deal to join Fleetwood Town.

Coutts, 30, was cut loose by the Blades following their promotion to the Premier League after three and a half years at Bramall Lane.

He made 13 Championship appearances last season to help the club secure automatic promotion.

"He's an exciting signing for Fleetwood Town and I'm looking forward to working with him," said manager Joey Barton.
