Sheffield Wednesday have completed the capture of defender Joe Mattock.

The 22-year-old will join the Owls on a three-year deal.

Mattock came through the ranks at Leicester City before making his senior debut for the Foxes in April 2007.

The defender was shortlisted for the Young Apprentice of the Year award in 2008 for his achievements at the Walkers Stadium but was narrowly pipped to the prize by current Owls stopper Mark Beevers.

The attack-minded full back made 73 appearances for Leicester before, then Championship side, West Bromwich Albion paid £1m for his signature in August 2009.

After aiding the Baggies in their return to the Premiership, making 34 appearances in their 2009-10 promotion-winning campaign, the defender has since enjoyed successful loan stints with Sheffield United, Portsmouth and most recently Brighton.

On the international stage, Mattock has represented England at various levels including Under-17s, Under-19s and Under-21s.

Pete O'Rourke is basically the Sky Sports feed.

Think this means Bennett is off? We can hope.

Another good bit of business. He has the pedigree is still young and hungry; and will want to prove a few people wrong. We are certainly using the Bosman system to our advantage. Next stop- cash transfers!
