New manager, Moore, could have a part to play in that decision though, with the youngster currently training with the first team alongside a host of other talented young players.
Waldock has made the bench three times this season as he looks to take the next step in his career, and he’ll be itching to try and leave an impression on Moore over the international break now that he has a chance to show him up close what he’s capable of.
The midfield man has been with Wednesday since back in 2008, and will no doubt look to the likes of Osaze Urhoghide and Liam Shaw as inspiration given the roles that they’ve played in the first team this season to date.
