Blades Add to Academy Starlets

Sheffield United have added to their Academy fodder with the signatures of eleven players signing full term contracts, and seven players signing scholarship deals ahead of the 2025/26 Professional Development League season.

Eleven players have signed permanently after completing their scholarships, mainly in the Under-18s side, with the exception of defender Max Asante-Boakye, who has joined from Aston Villa.

Archie Christie-Crainie, Coby Hewitson, Frankie Jones, Jackson Blaize, Seth Okyere and Zach Giggs will make the step-up to the Under-21s, whilst Aaron Reid, Sam Colechin, Siem Eyob-Abraha and Theo Howard, have agreed deals ahead of the 2026-27 season.              

Elsewhere, seven players have agreed scholarship deals to join Jim O’Brien’s Under-18 side. Ben Murray, Charlie Bulmer, Keehan Barrett-Underwood, Marley Parr-Pearson, Matthew Poppleton, Robert Adams and Thomas Dearden, have become permanent members of the side.
