George Baldock says Sheffield United can 'put things right' after signing new contract

The wing-back has signed a new contract despite the Blades being in grave danger of relegation from the Premier League. They sit bottom of the division with just one point from their first 11 games.

But Baldock has not given up hope, and has demanded his team-mates each take their own responsibility for rescuing the situation.

"I still believe we will get out of the situation we're in and I'm absolutely delighted to sign a new deal,” said the 27-year-old

"We all need to take individual responsibility on the pitch in the key moments, we're not doing enough at the minute, but we're fortunate that we have an opportunity to turn things around.

"We've got a good group in the dressing room, many who know what it takes to get out of these sticky patches, albeit not in the Premier League. I'm certainly full of confidence that we can put things right.

"I've had the best years of my career by far with the Blades, I've got a good relationship with the fans and I love living in the city, so now it's about sorting out what's happening on the pitch."

Baldock has not missed a league game for the Blades since April 2019, when they were in the Championship.

Left wing-back Rhys Norrington-Davies, on loan at Luton Town, signed a new deal earlier in the week. He made his full Wales debut this season.
