Phil Jagielka is set to re-join boyhood club Sheffield United after 12 years away, Sky Sports News understands.
The 36-year-old centre-back left the Blades when they were last relegated from the top-flight in 2007, spending the following 12 years at Everton, where he established himself as an England international.
Jagielka, a graduate of the Sheffield United academy, made 287 appearances during his first spell at Bramall Lane, helping the club secure promotion to the Premier League in 2006.
