He will join up with his new team-mates immediately as he continues his development away from Bramall Lane after spending last campaign on loan at Belgian side Beerschot and non-league outfit Boston United.

The Manchester-born youngster was part of Paul Heckingbottom’s Under-23s title-winning squad before making his Premier League debut for the Blades against Newcastle United in May 2021.

Between his two loan spells last term, he made his full United debut against Nottingham Forest.

On his move, Seriki said: “I’m really excited. Coming here (on the back of my loan spell at) Boston United, it’s a step up playing league football so I’m really looking forward to getting going.

“The gaffer has told me about his plans for this season so let’s hope we can achieve them.”

Seriki helped Boston reach the National League North play-off final, which they lost to York City, last campaign.

He is the fifth Blades youngster to head out on loan ahead of the new campaign.
