He had two spells at Wednesday at the end of the 2010/11 season and then for the entire campaign in 2011/12.

The 6ft 3in centre-back scored two goals in 54 outings for the Owls and has made 310 career appearances in total in League One and the Championship.

He's an aerial presence and is of an age where his experience should mean he could slot straight in to Jos Luhukay's team if needed.

Batth is said to be a good dressing room personality and is eligible to play for both England and India.
