Leeds United prospect Harry Gray has joined Sheffield Wednesday on a season-long loan, with former Rotherham manager Matt Hamshaw backing the move as an important next step in his development. Hamshaw said he was certain the 17-year-old would excite Wednesday supporters, while the spell gives Gray another opportunity to prove himself in senior football.

Gray scored three goals in 20 League One appearances during a previous loan at Rotherham United, where Hamshaw worked with him. Hamshaw described him as a committed team player with pace and potential, but noted that he had sometimes found the physical demands difficult; Wednesday will compete in League One following relegation.
