The former Bradford Park Avenue, Bury and Whitby Town keeper has been consistently good since he arrived at Bramall Lane at the start of the 2002/2003 season and has been one the best keepers outside the Premiership.
PADDY POWER: Paddy Kenny linked with Birmingham and Villa.
However the two Midlands clubs are keen to sign a new keeper to challenge for in place of Maik Taylor (Birmingham) and Thomas Sorensen (Villa). And, if the Blades fail the win promotion this season the Blades should expect a bid.
Indecently Birmingham City have recently been linked with Phil Jagielka and Nick Montgomery whilst Villa have been linked with Michael Tonge.
