Sheffield Wednesday have signed striker Paul Heffernan on a two-year contract, following his release by Doncaster.The 28-year-old is manager Alan Irvine's third signing in as many days, following deals for midfielder Chris Sedgwick and defender Jon Ostemobor.

Heffernan told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It's been a bit stressful the last few weeks trying to get things sorted.

"There's a lot of people out of contract. I'm just delighted to get it sorted and I'm raring to go."

The Irishman joined Doncaster in 2005 but went out on loan last season to Oldham and Bristol Rovers, who had been confident of signing him on a permanent basis.

Heffernan scored 53 goals in 160 appearances for Rovers.
