and live on Freeview channel 276
Dunkley joined the Owls as their second signing ahead of the 2020/21 season, following on from Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, bolstering Monk’s backline as he looks to make sure they concede less goals in the campaign ahead.
The 28-year-old centre back was available as a free agent after leaving Wigan Athletic at the end of his contract, and is reported to have signed a two-year deal at Hillsborough after making the move to South Yorkshire.

“The gaffer is a high-profile gaffer, and he was a centre half. Someone who played in a position that I’m playing, and I think he’s someone that can definitely develop me as a player and hopefully that’ll be for this club and pushing forward with this club.
“It has been a journey, but I feel like I’m always learning, always trying to develop. And I think that this is a big test for me to come to a real big club in Sheffield Wednesday, and hopefully all goes well.”
Meanwhile, after grabbing six goals in 2019/20 for Wigan, he also added, “I like to chip in where I can… First and foremost I want to keep clean sheets, I’m a defender at heart, but where I can chip in and score a few goals it’s something that’s in my game, and may that continue.”
