Docherty joined the Blades in 2016 at under-14 level and graduated into the first team set-up in August 2020.

Meanwhile, Georgia Walters, who signed for Sheffield United last month after leaving Liverpool, has been called up for international duty with the senior Wales squad.

The striker, 28, has already earned four caps for her country and has made no secret of her desire to return to the international fold, having missed out on selection for recent fixtures.

She also continues to train full-time, despite the Blades’ part-time status, in the hope of returning to the professional game.
