Last updated : 04 July 2007 By Daniel Elwes
The highly-rated 21-year-old signs on the day that Iron hotshot Billy Sharp completes his return to the Blades - and the club claim he is part of the Sharp deal.

A former England junior, the pacy Forte made 39 appearances under Neil Warnock at Bramall Lane, mostly from the substitutes bench.

He has also enjoyed two seperate loan spells with Doncaster Rovers, in which he has scored nine times from 50 appearances.

He becomes Scunthorpe's fifth signing of the summer, joining Kevan Hurst, Paul Hayes, Izzy Iriekpen and Martin Paterson at Glanford Park.
