Both Sheffield United’s captain and vice-captain, Billy Sharp and Oliver Norwood, have signed new contracts with the club.

In a statement posted to their website on Wednesday, 10 June, the Blades confirmed the news.

They said: “Sharp has signed a two-year deal, which now sees him contracted to his boyhood club until the summer of 2022 … [Norwood] is set to remain a Blade until the end of the 2022/23 campaign.”

Sharp – who has scored 93 goals in 197 appearances for Sheffield since 2015 – expressed his pleasure with the new contract.

He said: “I want to be a part of this squad for the next two years and see what heights we can reach. The manager and the staff have pushed me to get fitter, stronger, and have helped me become a better player.”

As for Norwood – who has made 30 appearances for the club since 2019 – he said: “I’m delighted to commit my future to a club that has had the best of me, but there is so much more to come as I continue to mature and grow as a player.”
