Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has stated that winger Romelle Donovan will have a huge role to play this season following his strong performance in a 1-0 win over Wrexham at Bramall Lane. The Brentford loanee made his first Championship start in more than seven weeks, providing creativity on the left wing and delivering nine crosses before receiving a standing ovation in the 86th minute.
