HITC Sport understands Sheffield United youngster David Parkhouse is set to join Boston United on loan.
Sheffield United have agreed a deal to allow forward David Parkhouse to join National League North side Boston United on loan, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Parkhouse is highly-regarded at Sheffield United, with the Yorkshire club beating the likes of Celtic and Birmingham City to sign him from Northern Ireland in December 2014 at the age of 15.
The Northern Ireland Under-21 international has been a prolific goal-scorer for Sheffield United’s Under-18s and Under-23s in the last couple of seasons, and he has been named on the bench for the Carabao Cup first round tie against Hull earlier this season.
The 18-year-old is seen as one of the best talents to emerge at Sheffield United in recent years, and his progress has not gone unnoticed by clubs higher up the football pyramid.
Parkhouse is well down the pecking order at Bramall Lane and is unlikely to break into the first-team picture anytime soon, with the club riding high at the top of the Championship.
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has high hopes for Parkhouse and feels a move out on loan in search of regular first-team football is the next stage in the teenager’s development.
Parkhouse is set to spend the next month on loan at Boston United so he can get valuable first-team experience under his belt before returning to Bramall Lane.
