Deadline day loan addition Carl Ikeme says he is delighted to have joined the Blades and was even happier to start his stint at the Lane with a win against Bristol City at the weekend.

Ikeme, signed from Wolves on Thursday, replaced fellow loan stopper Mark Bunn between the sticks at Ashton Gate and played his part as a Darius Henderson hat-trick secured United three valuable points in the West Country:

"I thought we did well and although it would have been nice to start with a clean sheet at least we managed to get the win.

"The lads at the back defended well and I was positive, making a few saves in the process.

"It was a bit of a rollcoaster at the end and it was a massive relief when Hendo got the winner and he certainly deserved his treble."

The 23-year-old goalkeeper, who is no stranger to loan spells, believes he couldn't be in a better place as he looks to show onlookers what he has to offer:

"I feel sharp because I have played a few games for Charlton recently, but after leaving there last Tuesday I was delighted to know that Sheffield United were in for me on the Wednesday."

"I can't get a much better club to come to on loan and I am looking forward to getting some games under my belt."
