Reece James makes Owls return

30 June 2023

The Owls have completed the permanent signing of Reece James from Blackpool for an undisclosed fee.

James spent last season on loan with Wednesday and was a key member of the squad as we gained promotion back to the Championship.

The versatile Manchester United product scored a vital goal against Peterborough in the play-off semi-final second leg at Hillsborough as the Owls overturned a 4-0 deficit to reach Wembley.

After spending his youth career at Old Trafford, James enjoyed loan spells with Carlisle, Rotherham and Huddersfield before completing a permanent move to Wigan in 2015.

He spent three seasons with the Latics before switching to Sunderland and then Doncaster one year later.

James played over 70 games in South Yorkshire and sealed a Championship move to Blackpool in June 2021, making a loan switch to S6 one season later.  

The 29-year-old featured 34 times for Wednesday last campaign and now becomes our first addition of the summer transfer window.

Welcome back, Reece!
