Sheffield United duo leave on loan

Evans has joined Fleetwood Town on a season-long loan, while Slater will continue his development with Carlisle United.

Evans, who rejoined the Blades from Chesterfield last summer, made a total of 13 appearances in all competitions during 2017/18, in a campaign that was hampered by an ankle problem that required surgery.

Meanwhile, 18-year-old Slater, who made his United debut against Grimsby Town in November 2016, made two appearances last term.
