Speculation has been circulating the centre-back for months and months, but all of the rumours can be firmly put to bed now after his agent, Paul Masterton, confirmed that Kilgallon is willing to stay with the Blades for the rest of the season.

It's massive news for the Blades, and music to Unitedites' ears. Newcastle were supposedly leading the race to the signature of the former Leeds defender, whilst Hull, Wolves, Bolton, Everton and Wigan were all linked.

Masterton said: "We have spoken to Kevin Blackwell to say Matthew is fully committed to Sheffield United until the end of the season.

"We have also informed Newcastle United about the situation.

"Matthew is keen to win promotion with Sheffield United, if that happens we will re-assess the options in the summer."

This is brilliant news, and well done Killa for pledging your future at Bramall Lane.
