Sheffield United are set to complete the signing of Jack Rodwell.

The former Everton and Manchester City midfielder has been training with the Blades in recent weeks.

"We're hoping to get that one over the line this morning," Blades boss Chris Wilder said at his press conference on Friday morning.

"It'll be a short-term deal until the end of the season with the option of extending that.

"Hopefully we can kick-start his career.

"He's certainly got the desire and, from a physical and attitude point of view, there are no issues."

He added: "I've sat down with him for quite a long time and spoke about his career going forward, it aligns with the club's goals.

"He plays a number of positions and hopefully we can get him going."
