Wednesday posted another 17 clean sheets in 2015/16, with Westwood making 37 appearances in total, in a season which saw the Owls miss out on promotion at the last in the play-off final.

Westwood was a key figure in the Owls’ backline again in 2016/17, helping Wednesday to achieve a place in the Championship play-offs for the second year running and scooping the club’s official Player of the Year award for the second time in his S6 career.

With opportunities limited throughout the first part of the 2018/19 campaign, the experienced shot-stopper fought his way back into contention and thrived under new manager Steve Bruce.
