Former Sheffield United striker Ched Evans has been released from prison after serving half of his five-year sentence for rape. The 25-year-old was found guilty in April 2012 but always maintained his innocence and will make a "very personal and profound" statement on his website next week.
Almost 150,000 people have signed a petition urging the League One outfit not to take the Wales international back.
But Blades boss Nigel Clough said he had held talks with club officials about the possibility of Evans returning.
