[edit] Playing career

[edit] Sheffield United

A member of Sheffield United's academy, Law was given a squad number despite only being expected to play in the reserves and Under-18's. However, he made his first team debut as a 58th minute substitute for Colin Marrison in the League Cup against Reading on October 25, 2005.[1]

Law made his Premiership debut for the Blades as a 90th minute substitute against Newcastle United on November 4, 2006.[2] and made his home league debut as week later, as a substitute against Bolton Wanderers at Bramall Lane on November 11 2006.[3]

In February 2006, Law joined Yeovil Town on a month's loan, later extended to two months[4] playing six times whilst at Huish Park.

Law had to wait until his third senior season to score his first goal for the Blades coming in a second round Carling Cup tie at MK Dons in August 28, 2007.[5] He subsequently signed on loan for Bradford City on October 5 after being recommended to the club by his father and former City manager Nicky Law.[6] He scored his first career league goals when he scored twice in the final minutes of Bradford's 4–1 victory over Dagenham & Redbridge on 17 November 2007.[7] He returned to Sheffield United after two months opting to fight for a first team place in the Championship.[8]
