Jos Luhukay makes frank admission as Owls prepare to take on Norwich City

The 20-year-old, a graduate of Wednesday's youth system, has produced a string of impressive performances since making his Owls debutÂ as a substitute in their Carabao Cup triumph at Sunderland. He was crowned the Wednesday player of the month for September.

Penney has established himself as a valuable member of Jos Luhukay's squad, makingÂ nine starts and four sub appearances. His pace, energy and versatility have caught the eye, with Penney having been deployed atÂ left-back, the left wing and as part of a three-man attack.

"It has been a great experience for me (playing first-team football),' said Penney, who has previously been loaned out to Mansfield Town and Bradford City.

'It was the next step I needed in my career and thankfully the gaffer has given me a chance. He has put his faith in me and hopefully I'm repaying him now."

Penney has started on the bench in the last two outings and will be hoping for a recall when Luhukay's team entertain Norwich City this weekend.
