Sky Bet League One promotion chasers Sheffield United have re-signed Middlesbrough midfielder Harry Chapman on a loan deal until the end of the season according to the club’s official Twitter account.
The 19-year-old Hartlepool born midfield ace joined The Blades on a season-long loan deal in August but the youngster’s spell at Bramall Lane was cut short by ligament injury which was sustained during a training session.
The player returned to Teesside for treatment on his injury and was expected to be ruled out of action for up to four months but Chapman has now returned to Sheffield United just two months after picking up the injury with the youngster having recovered from his setback quicker than originally hoped. The Blades announced Chapman’s return to Bramall Lane on the club’s official Twitter page on Tuesday evening.

Chapman made 11 appearances for The Blades during his first spell in South Yorkshire scoring four goals. The player scored a first career hat-trick in Sheffield United’s 6-0 FA Cup First Round victory over Leyton Orient in November.
The youngster is a product of the Middlesbrough academy system but the midfielder is yet to feature for the club at first team level. Chapman spent the second half of last season on loan at Barnsley and helped the club to gain promotion to the Sky Bet Championship via the Sky Bet League One Play Offs.
