Sheffield Utd boss Heckingbottom admits trialist Francis has rival offers

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom says they won't rush a decision for trialist Chris Francis.

The defender is a free agent after leaving Bournemouth last month and impressed in last night's preseason friendly against Bournemouth.

Heckingbottom told the Sheffield Star: “We'll see.

“We'll have a good chat with him and amongst the staff. He's certainly fit in well, he's got a few more days on Friday and Saturday and then we'll have a chat and discussion.

“He's had offers elsewhere but we got him in and had a good look at him. He's young and left-footed defenders are tough to come by so we wanted to look at him."
