Nigel Adkins has agreed a three-year contract to become Sheffield United's new first-team manager.



The 50-year-old, who has won promotion from League One on three occasions, twice with Scunthorpe United and most recently with Southampton, will be joined at Bramall Lane by Andy Crosby (Assistant Manager) and Dean Wilkins (First-Team Coach).



The incoming trio will work alongside the existing backroom staff already contracted to the Club and will commence their roles with immediate effect.



Nigel met local and national media at a press conference in London on Tuesday afternoon.
