GRAHAM Kavanagh is refusing to rule out a Hillsborough return but keeping an open mind about his future after going back to Sunderland.
The midfielder who aided the Owls' survival fight in two loan spells has another year left on his Black Cats contract.
"I'd love to think it's not the end (of his time with Wednesday]," he told The Star.
"It would be nice to come back. But I don't know what's going to happen.
"I really enjoyed my time, though it was frustrating when I got injured. The atmosphere for the Norwich game was outstanding.
"The fans have been amazing. It's been tremendous that they have been so vocal, and it's been a big benefit to the team this season."
Kavanagh, who was given a canvas print of himself by a fan as parting gift, feels that the 36,000 attendance and atmosphere for the Norwich game showed to any potential investor how big the Owls' potential is.

Kavanagh is one of three Sunderland players who have rejoined Roy Keane's outfit after being out on loan in the Championship.
The others are defenders Greg Halford, who has been at Charlton, and Russell Anderson, Plymouth.
Keane said: "They have all gone out and done themselves no harm. It shows a good side to them. They're back, and we'll see how things pan out."
Sunderland's former Wednesday goal ace Kenwyne Jones has been voted the club's Player of the Year.
He scored seven goals - the same number that he hit for the Owls in seven games while loan at Hillsborough from Southampton during Wednesday's promotion season.
He will receive his award before the match against Arsenal tomorrow.
