Sheffield MP writes an open letter urging Sheffield United to reverse their decision to allow convicted rapist Ched Evans to train with the club.

Local MP Paul Blomfield has urged Sheffield United to change their decision to allow convicted rapist Ched Evans to train with their players.

The League One club confirmed yesterday that Evans, 25, would begin training with the Blades this week to build up his fitness levels after a request from the Professional Footballers' Association.

Sheffield Central MP Blomfield, who says on his website that he owns 100 shares in the club, is the latest to slam the club's decision.

In an open letter to Sheffield United co-chairmen Kevin McCabe and Jim Phipps on his Facebook page, Blomfield wrote: "It's because I care so much about our club that I am writing to urge you to reconsider your decision to accept Ched Evans back to train with the team.

"The way this issue has been handled by the club is dragging our name through the mud and dividing fans. Yesterday's decision only makes that situation worse. I really hope that you will reflect further and change your mind."

Three of the club's patrons have resigned over Evans's return to the training ground, including TV presenter Charlie Webster.
