Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp will not get the chance to represent his boyhood club in the Premier League again next season after being released.

The 37-year-old is ending his third spell at the club having made 377 appearances and scored 129 goals.

He did play 45 times for the Blades last season as they won promotion from the Championship and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but boss Paul Heckingbottom does not think he is worth a new deal in the top flight.

Fans have been thanking him, saying he's a legend and a hero for the club.

Jack O'Connell and Enda Stevens are also released and will depart the club having played their parts in promotions over the years.
