Villa Youngster Signs For Blades

The 19-year-old Austarlian-born midfielder, who was signed by Villa from Manchester United three years ago, has been handed a one year contract by The Blades.

"I enjoyed my time here at the end of last season and scored in one of the five reserve games I played. I'm looking to do well and maybe go out on loan to further my experience," Nix told the official Sheffield United website.
