'No limit to what he can achieve' - Sheffield United hand new deal to ex-Stoke City man Tyrese Campbell
Sheffield United have extended the contract of one of their attacking players
Sheffield United have handed a contract extension to forward Tyrese Campbell.
The 26-year-old has been on the books at Bramall Lane since 2024, when he moved to Yorkshire from Stoke City.
He netted 11 league goals in his maiden Blades campaign, but his influence waned last term and he weighed in with just six.
Sheffield United confirm new deal for Tyrese Campbell
Sheffield United have demonstrated their faith in the frontman by tying him to a new deal running until the summer of 2028.
After putting pen to paper, Campbell said: “Obviously, I'm delighted. It's a lot of faith put in me from the club and the gaffer, so I definitely want to repay that again. I'm buzzing to have sorted it out and to have got it done.
“Since the day I came in, I've loved every minute of it. The backing from the fans, the manager, the boys, it's been amazing. It's all I could have asked for really.”
Chris Wilder looking to get Tyrese Campbell firing again
Campbell did not hit the heights expected of him last season, although the former England youth international is undoubtedly a talented frontman. For Blades boss Chris Wilder, it is a case of trying to get Campbell back to his best.
Wilder said: “I am delighted that Tyrese has made the decision to extend his deal here. He's an important player for us and our aim is to get him consistently back to the standards he set when he first walked through the door.
“A firing Tyrese Campbell is a major player for us and a major threat to the division, and if we can get him to those standards then there's no limit to what he can achieve here with us.”
Campbell was an unused substitute as Sheffield United returned to competitive football with a 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Mansfield Town last weekend.
He could make his first appearance of the season tomorrow (August 15), when the Blades kick off their Championship campaign against Birmingham City at Bramall Lane.
