The Owls have tied down another youngster to a new contract

A young Sheffield Wednesday prospect says he will try to take any opportunities that come his way after signing a new extended contract.

Devlan Moses, 20, has penned a new one-year deal, with the club having the option to extend it by another 12 months. The striker, who joined the club when he was 11, signed his first professional contract two years ago and has made a small number of first-team appearances, making his Championship debut in January.

Moses has been called-up by Northern Ireland’s under-19s and 21s, scoring for both age groups. All of these experiences have helped him develop on and off the pitch, he says.

“The manager speaks a lot about the human first, and I've definitely grown as a person,” he explained. “I've grown up massively with myself, on and off the pitch. It's a good group. Everyone's gelling and everyone's buying into the idea of this season. If an opportunity comes my way, I just try and take it and show my qualities to the staff, the manager and the fans as well.”

The news comes after Wednesday also tied down young players Joe Emery, 19, and Jarvis Thornton, 20, to new extended contracts last week, which has not always been the case at S6 over the years.

The Owls have made giant strides in a small amount of time since administration, with the new owners working tirelessly to rebuild the club, including ensuring they have a good mix of youth and experience in the squad and potential future assets are protected.

Wednesday get the new season underway away at Leyton Orient this Saturday.
