Wycombe Wanderers have signed former England striker Danny Ings, the club has confirmed. Ings, 34, who began the season without a club after spending last campaign in the Championship with Sheffield United, has joined the League One side and is available for selection for Saturday's meeting with Reading at Adams Park.

WHAT HAPPENED
Ings becomes the eighth club of the Winchester-born player's 17-year professional career. He has trained with Wycombe since joining and is ready for selection, according to the club.

KEY CONTEXT
- Ings has played for Bournemouth, Burnley, Liverpool, Southampton, Aston Villa and West Ham United, among others. He was one of Brendan Rodgers' last signings at Liverpool in the summer of 2015 and spent last season with Sheffield United in the Championship.
