Midfielder Jack Rodwell could make a sensational return to the Premier League with Sheffield United.

The 28-year-old has been training with the Blades in a bid to land a contract at Bramall Lane, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Rodwell has been without a club since leaving Blackburn in the summer.

Midfielder Jack Rodwell hopes to impress Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder in training

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder wants to boost his squad for the second half of the season after an impressive start.

Rodwell’s injury problems have limited his playing time since starting his career at Everton and Manchester City, earning him three England cups.

He spent four seasons at Sunderland, making 67 appearances, and then played 22 times for Blackburn last season.

Rodwell then had trials at Italian sides Roma and Parma.
