Nobody connected with Sheffield Wednesday is likely to forget the 2026 summer transfer window in a hurry.
After a disastrous 2025/26 campaign saw the Owls enter administration for the first time in their history, suffer relegation from the Championship with just two wins to their name and lose countless players, this summer’s window was always going to be a busy one.
After confirming the arrival of Davis Keillor-Dunn on loan from Wrexham almost 48 hours after the window had closed, Wednesday brought the curtain down on a transformative summer having drafted in 18 new signings.
Alongside overseeing the arrivals of 18 new players, Wednesday also oversaw a plethora of exits, both permanently and on loan.
With that in mind, here is a look at how those who left Hillsborough on permanent deals following the end of last season have been getting on...
9. Mackenzie Maltby (Halifax Town)
Maltby left Hillsborough at the end of last season after 14 years with the club. The youngster progressed through the Owls’ academy system before making his first-team debut in their 4-1 defeat to Oxford United in April. He subsequently joined non-league side Halifax Town, but is still waiting to make his debut for the club after picking up an injury. | Getty Images
10. Rio Shipston (Solihull Moors)
After climbing the rungs of Wednesday’s academy system and flirting with the first team, Shipston left S6 during the summer after 14 years with the club. He was snapped up by Solihull Moors in July and has since made five appearances for the National League outfit. | Getty Images
11. Gui Siqueira (Buxton)
After considering offering Siqueira a new deal over the summer, the right-back left Hillsborough last month and was quickly snapped up by Buxton. The Brazilian right-back missed practically the whole of last season because of an Achilles injury. He has made six appearances for Buxton so far, nailing down the right-back spot. | Steve Ellis
