Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips has returned to Sheffield United on loan after an injury-affected spell last season.
The 30-year-old former England international moved to Bramall Lane in February but managed just three appearances after sustaining a knee injury.
He was also sent off in a derby game against Sheffield Wednesday.
"My time was spoiled by my last game [getting sent off in the Sheffield derby] and the injury after that so I'm here to put that right," Phillips told the club's website.
Despite his injury problems, Phillips remained with the Blades for his entire loan spell and manager Chris Wilder felt he made a significant contribution to the dressing room.

"Make no mistake, this is a good deal for the football club," Wilder said.
"Since the first day Kalvin walked through the door here, he instantly ticked the boxes in terms of personality and character, both on the field and behind the scenes and he offers more experience in a crucial area of the pitch."
Phillips started his career at United's Yorkshire rivals, Leeds United playing over 200 games for the club, before moving to City in a £45 million move in 2022.
At the time a regular England international, he has struggled for game time in Manchester, with loan spells at West Ham United, Ipswich Town and Sheffield United.
