Sheffield Wednesday signed former Everton defender Jordan Thorniley in July 2016.
The towering young talent joined the Owls after graduating through the Goodison academy ranks to pen a first year professional deal on Merseyside.
That maiden senior contract expired in 2016 and the centre back moved over the Pennines to sign at Hillsborough.
During the 2017/18 campaign, Thorniley made 17 appearances on loan for League Two side Accrington before returning to Hillsborough in January 2018.
The young defender made his debut for the Owls in a televised clash with Cardiff that same month, helping Wednesday earn a point in the 0-0 draw.
The stopper made 11 appearances for Wednesday in 2017/18 to round off a very productive breakthrough season.
