Killgallon to stay at Sheffield United

Sheffield United defender Matthew Kilgallon looks set to remain with the Championship club until at least the end of the current season, according to his agent.

The centre-half has long been linked with a move away from Bramall Lane and the speculation has again re-surfaced with talk surrounding Kilgallon's future and possible moves to Newcastle or Celtic.

But Kilgallon's agent Paul Masterton told the Yorkshire Post: "We have spoken to (United boss) Kevin Blackwell to say Matthew is fully committed to Sheffield United until the end of the season."

He added: "We have also informed Newcastle about the situation.

"Matthew is keen to win promotion with Sheffield United, if that happens we will re-assess the options in the summer."
