Championship - Morgan hails young Blades duo

Eurosport - Fri, 15 May 13:26:00 2009

Sheffield United skipper Chris Morgan has paid tribute to full-backs Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker as they prepare for the biggest game of their fledgling careers.

FOOTBALL 2007-2008 Championship - Chris Morgan, Sheffield United - 0

Naughton has been a regular in the Blades' first team this season and made the PFA's Championship Team of the Year.

Walker has broken into the side in the last few weeks and featured in both legs of the play-off semi-final with Preston.

The two teenagers are likely to feature in the play-off final against Burnley on May 25, and Morgan believes they have been a credit to the club this season

"They don't get carried away but they can be really proud of what they are achieving, Morgan told the club's website.

"The world is their oyster, both lads have got masses of talent and we want to keep them at Sheffield United for as long as possible.

"They have been an absolute credit to the football club which is a great tribute to our academy."
