Attacker lands new Championship contract two months after leaving Sheffield Wednesday
Former Sheffield Wednesday attacker, Nathan Redmond, has secured a new contract in the Championship two months after leaving the Owls.
The 32-year-old had a short and difficult stay at Hillsborough, joining on a short-term contract in November before departing at the end of January with just seven appearances to his name.
Now, following a couple of injuries, it has been confirmed that the ex-Southampton man has found himself a new home until the end of the season - joining up with relegation battlers, Blackburn Rovers. It’s been described as an ‘initial short-term deal’.
A statement from Rovers read, “New signing Nathan Redmond and George Pratt have been added to Rovers’ 25-man squad and are available for selection for the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign.
“Experienced winger Redmond arrived earlier this week and featured for Gregory Vignal’s Under-21s in the 3-1 win over Reading on Wednesday night. As for Pratt, he’s enjoyed a breakthrough term with the senior side and has played 11 times this season after spending time out on loan with Chorley.
“The duo replace Sondre Tronstad and Lewis Miller, who are both out long-term with knee and Achilles injuries, respectively. Following those injury lay-offs for the pair, Rovers have received permission from the EFL to replace the senior pair for the final seven games of the season.”
Blackburn managed to add Redmond to their ranks just before the free agent deadline, and will be hoping that he can play his part in fending off the drop come May.
