Sheffield United: Who is Tyler Smith? Everything you need to know about the Blades striker

Smith has had a stellar first half of the season since being sent on loan to the National League side in August and is Barrow's top scorer with 11 goals in 24 appearances.

According to Barrow supporters online, the five foot eight inch forward instinctively knows where the back of the net is and works hard for the team, with some saying he'll definitely make it in the Premier League.

Smith is on standby for tonight's match against the Baggies while Chris Wilder waits on a late decision on Leon Clarke's fitness.
