Sheffield United Webber initially joined Sheffield United on loan in March 2005 with Danny Cullip moving in the opposite direction. He scored after 93 seconds on his debut in a 4–0 away win over rivals Leeds United, and four days later, scored two goals against Queens Park Rangers. At the end of the 2004–05 season, he signed a permanent three-year contract with Sheffield United for a transfer fee of £500,000.
