Emley Link Up with Blades
1st July, 2013
AFC Emley have announced that they have linked up with Football League One side Sheffield United.
The Pewits are one of five clubs the Blades have selected for a partnership around Yorkshire/North Derbyshire, including another NCEL side, Hallam.
The deal includes a friendly at the Welfare Ground and Emley will benefit with players from Sheffield United, mainly from the club's academy.
There will also be opportunities for their coaching staff to observe and learn from their counterparts at Bramall Lane.
The move has come about because Sheffield United are hoping to tap into talent closer to home and develop stronger links across the area.
