Dean Hammond will not be returning to Sheffield United after discussions were concluded.



A settlement agreement has been reached for the 33-year-old not to join the Blades.



Under the stewardship of Nigel Adkins, Hammond made 34 appearances last season, on loan from Leicester City.



Current boss Chris Wilder commented: "There's been a lot of talk about the situation and I'm sure all parties will be happy that it has been resolved."
