## Key points

- He signed a three-year deal after leaving Millwall.
- The 25-year-old adds Championship experience to Wednesday’s midfield.

## Summary

Sheffield Wednesday’s new midfielder Billy Mitchell said conversations with two players helped convince him to leave Millwall for Hillsborough. The move is significant because Mitchell chose a League One club despite Championship interest, strengthening Wednesday’s midfield during their rebuild.

Mitchell, 25, joined on a three-year contract after his Millwall deal expired at the end of June. A Millwall academy product who made his senior debut in 2019, he brings several seasons of Championship experience and will compete with players including Barry Bannan and Callum Slattery.
