Sheffield United defender Leigh Bromby has committed his long-term future to the club by putting pen to paper on a new three-year contract.

The versatile 26-year-old is currently sidelined by a knee injury, but Blades boss Neil Warnock is delighted he has agreed to stay on.

"Leigh is a class act, a quality player who I expect to flourish at the highest level," Warnock told the club's official website.

"Securing his services for such a long time goes to show that we're serious about making a go of things."

Bromby joined the Blades from local rivals Sheffield Wednesday in 2004 and has since played 91 first-team games.
