Arblaster, who has been at the Blades for almost a decade and signed his first professional contract earlier this year, made his England U18s debut last month and will return to Bramall Lane, with Maguire going the other way.

Avenue boss Mark Bower said: “In his time with us, Oli has shown what an exceptional talent he is, and we hope his career has been helped by his time here with us. We wish him all the best.”
