Nathan Jones, the Luton Town manager, has predicted that Rhys Norrington-Davies will return to Sheffield United "and have a fantastic career" when his loan spell at Kenilworth Road comes to an end.

The Welsh international, who recently signed a new long-term contract at Bramall Lane, will spend the remainder of the season with Jones' side in the Championship as the Blades look to further his development.

A left-back by trade, Chris Wilder and his coaching staff have identified the Shirecliffe youth product as a possible long-term successor to Jack O'Connell on the left of United's back three.

And Jones said: “I’ve great respect for Chris, so the fact he trusts us with him is very good and I would be biased, but it is the right thing to do, because he’s getting an education here away from Sheffield United.

“I’m pretty sure it would be a similar education in terms of discipline, in terms of development, in terms of what Chris expects from his teams, or his full backs, or his wing backs, I do exactly the same.

“So I think it’s a parallel experience he would be getting and getting real good game time.

“It’s all an education as he’s still young and he needs to learn and he wants to learn, then the boy could have a fantastic career."
