Long-serving Owl looking set for Sheffield Wednesday exit this summer
Cameron Dawson’s Sheffield Wednesday story is a long one, but it looks like it could be coming to an end.
The Owls stopper, who climbed his way up through the club’s academy to become a first team professional, will see his current contract at Hillsborough expire at the end of this month, and it’s looking increasingly likely that he won’t be sticking around.
‘Daws’ has had some huge moments in a Wednesday shirt over the years, playing over 120 times for his boyhood club and keeping almost 50 clean sheets along the way, including a memorable penalty-saving one at Bramall Lane. In 2022/23 he played a monumental role in their promotion out of League One, and has been a model pro throughout – whether he’s been playing or not.
It was confirmed last month that the 28-year-old had been offered a new contract to extend his time at Middlewood Road even further, however The Star understands that he is now looking set to leave this summer in order to take on a fresh challenge.
Of course things are always changing in football, but it’s thought that Dawson has plenty of options elsewhere on the back of winning two promotions in the last three seasons, and he’ll be desperate to stake his claim as a number one having shown what he’s capable of in recent years.
Wednesday only has one professional goalkeeper on their books as of July 1st as things stand - Pierce Charles being the only one – and they have been linked with a return swoop for Brighton & Hove Albion’s James Beadle as well as free agent, Ben Hamer.
