Sheffield United have completed the signing of Lescinel Jean-Francois on a free transfer from Swindon Town. The 24 year old becomes new manager Danny Wilson’s first signing of the summer at Bramall Lane and has put pen to paper a two year deal.
Haitian defender Jean-Francois is a versatile player, capable of filling in at both left back and centre back. While Swindon were keen to keep him at the club, the two parties were not able to reach upon an agreement and United swooped in. The presence of Wilson at Bramall Lane also helped matters, with the former having previously managed Lescinel at Swindon. He was at Guingamp before signing for Swindon in early 2009.
