Sheffield Wednesday: Matt Penney praised for his versatility by Jos Luhukay

Penney, normally a left-back, was deployed in a more advanced role in the goalless draw at Sheffield United.

And the versatility of the 20-year-old, who recently inked a contact extension until 2020, particularly pleased Luhukay.

'He's functional player and can play three or four positions,' said the Owls' chief.

'The right-central defender from United is a very offensive player and Matt had to keep an eye on that and also midfield.

'He did his defending work good, especially in the first half.'

Penney has enjoyed a breakthrough season for the Owls, making 15 appearances so far.
