Sheffield United have announced five of their first-team players will leave when their contracts expire this summer.

Oliver Norwood is among them - along with Chris Basham, George Baldock, Max Lowe and goalkeeper Wes Foderingham.

They'll depart after Sunday's final Premier League game against Tottenham, before the club returns to the Championship.

A statement from The Blades said:

"The Blades can confirm Chris Basham, George Baldock, Oliver Norwood, Wes Foderingham and Max Lowe will leave the club when their contracts expire this summer.

"The aforementioned players will each embark on new chapters in their careers following the conclusion of this campaign, having helped the Blades to success during their spells at Bramall Lane.

"They share a total of nine promotions in their Blades careers and the club see fit to release this news ahead of the end of the campaign to enable them to receive acclaim from Unitedites for their contributions. With the visit of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday being United's final fixture of the campaign, special acknowledgements will be paid to the five, with further tributes across the club's digital platforms.

"The five players will depart with our gratitude and appreciation for the contribution they have made to Sheffield United Football Club.

"Further news with regards to the futures of other current squad members will follow in due course."
