Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has signed a new contract at Bramall Lane, as confirmed by the club’s official website.

Wilder has penned a three-year deal with the Blades as they gear up for their return to the Premier League for the first time since 2007.

CEO Stephen Bettis said: “On behalf of the Board, I’m delighted that the formalities have been concluded and Chris has been rewarded. Chris signing a new contract underpins everything we are attempting to do at Bramall Lane.

“He’s been the catalyst for our success over the past few years, he is a driven individual and his focus since promotion was secured has been preparing the club for the Premier League.”

Obviously, loads of Blades fans were over the moon when the club confirmed the news on their official Twitter account.

In a summer where transfer business has been a bit slow moving, the announcement has got the supporters more excited than any new player coming through the door.

Wilder is the bedrock of everything that’s good about the Blades right now and with him at the helm, the fans can dream of a successful return to the top flight…
