Sheffield United boss Kevin Blackwell has challenged full-back Kyle Naughton to continue his stunning progress with the Championship club.

The 19-year-old is already attracting interest from a number of top-flight clubs, having broken into the Blades first team this season, following a loan spell at Gretna last term.

Blackwell told the Sheffield Star: "Kyle has looked absolutely quality so far and there's no sign of a downturn in his form.

"But his challenge now is to show that he can continue in the same vein for the remainder of the season.

"The next 20 or 30 games are going be very important in telling if he can go on to be an absolutely top player. That's his next challenge."
