Sheffield Wednesday looking towards a 'long term' vision with Bailey Cadamarteri

That's according to manager Danny Röhl, who speaking after Cadamarteri claimed his second senior goal at Norwich City in midweek once again praised the attitude and hunger of the teenager. The signing of a new deal secures the future of a prospect that has been the subject of admiring eyes from the Premier League in seasons gone by.

"I pushed this topic in the last two weeks very hard," Röhl said. "I tried everything to make sure we keep this player here because we spoke about his potential and that he is the future of our club. It's two goals in the last three games and always it is fantastic to have a striker who can score."

Cadamarteri is playing an important role as Wednesday's front man and has produced increasingly mature performances technically alongside his two-in-three goals tally. Röhl, a former youth coach in the widely admired Red Bull set-up, has spoken about his keenness to build stronger relationships with the club's academy. Recent under-21s coach Neil Thompson has been brought into the senior staff full-time in an attempt to firm that link up, while the likes of Joey Phuthi and Sam Reed are believed to have impressed.

For now it is striker Cadamarteri that has stolen the march on his contemporaries and is busy forging a pathway for those around him. His is a first step towards the sort of moves the new coaching team at Wednesday wants to make towards a grand vision for success at S6.

"He deserved this and I am very happy," Röhl continued. "It is a signal to the outside of our club that we are looking to build something for the future and keep some young players with high potential. Bailey is one of these and I am very happy that we have this player now for the long term."
