Chris O'Grady hints at longer Sheffield United stay

On-loan striker Chris O'Grady suggests that he could permanently join Sheffield United.

On-loan striker Chris O'Grady has revealed that he might want to join Sheffield United permanently.

The 28-year-old signed a three-year contract with Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer but only started five Championship games under Sami Hyypia before a loan was finalised to League One's Blades.

O'Grady, who has played for Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday in South Yorkshire, is glad to be back up North and is enjoying playing for Nigel Clough.

"I've always played my best football for managers who believe in me and put their trust in me," The Argus quotes O'Grady as saying.

"It's nice to be wanted and the manager here has definitely done that. That feels good rather than being someone who just ticks boxes. I aim to repay his faith by playing well.

"I know there's been interest in me here for a while."

O'Grady came off injured on his Blades debut last night, but Clough is confident that it is not a serious problem.
