I’ve had 3 amazing seasons with Sheffield United with lots of highs and some lows. The time has come for me to move on.
Thank you to the fans, to the club and to my teammates. I’ve made some incredible memories and new friends that’ll stay with me for life.
Goodbye Blades. ⚔️❤️ pic.twitter.com/IoWI6PFwOy
