Che Adams pens Sheffield United contract extension

Sheffield United striker Che Adams has signed a contract extension with the League One club.

The 19-year-old's new deal at Bramall Lane runs until 2018, with the option of a further year.

Adams has scored five goals in 17 appearances for the Blades since joining them from Ilkeston in November 2014.

"Che is an emerging talent, he has so much ability," manager Nigel Adkins told United's official website. "Che works hard and everyday he is learning more about his game and what we want him to contribute to the team."

Sheffield United are in League Cup action tonight when they travel to Fulham in the second round.
