Sam Curtis happy he chose Sheffield Utd

Sheffield United youngster Sam Curtis has not let anything phase him since arriving at the club.

Despite the drama surrounding the club off the field and them being bottom of the Premier League table, Curtis taken it all in his stride.

The 18-year-old left St. Pat's and signed for Sheffield United in January, choosing them over many other teams.

Asked about already being on the bench for two Premier League games, he stated to the Irish Independent: "Obviously, I know it's a big deal, but it felt very normal to me. I felt it's where I'm supposed to be.

"I didn't really think too much into it because I have massive aspirations. I think everybody should. You should always reach for the sky. It was good to be on the bench and John [Egan, the United and Ireland skipper] always supports me. He's always rooting for me to get in the squads. Hopefully, I'll make my debut soon as well.

“Having already played first-team for such a long time so young, that was obviously a big thing for me - I was already familiar with a first team, so it wasn't huge for me. Obviously, it's the Premier League, the best league in the world, but it just felt so normal for me. It still does. It's good, but I'm hungry for more."
