Former Everton and Manchester City midfielder, Jack Rodwell, is on course for a Premier League return after Sheffield United offered him an opportunity to join the club on a short-term deal.

The 28-year-old former England midfielder has been training with the club after leaving Blackburn in the summer and is expected to be available for Sheffield's game on Sunday.

United manager Chris Wilder confirmed the deal was until the end of the season, with the option to extend it further.

"Hopefully we can kickstart his career. He's certainly got the desire from a physical point of view," said Wilder. "No issues from an attitude point of view."

"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."
