Sheffield Wednesday have confirmed the arrival of three new players, including Harry Evers, who recently departed Liverpool.
Evers, as well as Cole McGhee and Denny Oliver, was on trial with the Owls U21s towards the end of last season, and it appears that the club saw something that they liked in all three of them, with the trio having now signed professional terms at Hillsborough.
The news was confirmed this afternoon alongside the fact that - as reported by The Star - Ernie Weaver, Logan Stretch and Joe Emery had all put pen to paper on their maiden pro contracts, with all six going to be forming part of Andy Holdsworth’s U21s in the 2025/26 campaign.
