Sheffield United fans are reacting after the Blades defender Jake Wright joined Bolton Wanderers on loan.

Wright, who last played for Sheffield United in April 2018, was one of nine players signed by Bolton on deadline day and will spend the next four months with Keith Hill’s side, initially.

The 33-year-old was brought to Bramall Lane at the start of Chris Wilder’s reign, having previously played under the United manager at Oxford United.

Incredibly, he failed to lose a single game he played during Sheffield United’s League One title-winning campaign and tasted defeat in just seven of his 53 appearances for the Blades overall.

And several of a Blades persuasion are backing Wright to have a positive influence on Bolton, who five games into the new third-tier season are on -11 points.

This is what they are saying on Twitter…

Wright is in the final year of his contract at Sheffield United and appears to have already played his final game for the Blades.

Bolton fans – what do you make of Wright’s arrival?
