The 33-year-old has signed a one-year deal with the Blades after impressing during a summer-long trial and wants to put his recent injury troubles behind him. Little told the club's official website: "I think it's been about four years since I actually started a season, so I just want to get through this first week and be right for that first game. "I've been injured. It's been frustrating these last few years and I haven't played as many games as I'd have liked. "But I spoke to (assistant manager) Sam (Ellis) in the summer and he said to come up and have a good pre-season and see how I get on. "It's gone well. I've settled in great with all the boys and I'm looking forward to starting the season in a big game against Middlesbrough, a team that's just come down from the Premier League, live on Sky. I can't wait."
