David Stockdale swoops to sign one of his former Sheffield Wednesday teammates

The veteran goalkeeper, who left Wednesday at the end of his one-year contract with the club having played his role in their famous promotion from League One, is now in the unique dual role of player - recruitment manager for the Minstermen. Playing time has been hard to come by after suffering an injury early in the season, though he has remained a touchline figure for the National League side alongside manager Neal Ardley.

Now, York have announced the signing of ex-Owls hotshot Alex Hunt on loan from Grimsby Town. At 23, Hunt last made a league start for the Mariners in the lead-up to Christmas and will spend the rest of the campaign at the LNER Community Stadium. On social media, he has expressed his excitement at getting started at York.

One of the most highly-rated young Wednesday academy players in recent times, Hunt burst onto the scene as part of Jos Luhukay's influx of fresh faces to his squad in early 2018. He went on to make 17 appearances for his boyhood club before moving on to loan switches at Grimsby and Oldham Athletic before making a permanent switch to Blundell Park on deadline day of the summer transfer window of 2022.
