Grant joined us from Shamrock Rovers in May 2017 and made his only first team appearance earlier this season in our 2-0 win away at Rochdale in the Carabao Cup. Best of luck for the future, Conor!”

I’m really looking forward to working with him.

The midfielder, who made his senior Owls debut earlier this season, has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Rochdale following his switch from Hillsborough this evening.
