Inspector Lestrade Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Sheffield Wednesday defender Osaze Urhoghide has extended his contract at Hillsborough by a further 12 months. The 19-year-old arrived in S6 in the summer of 2019 after impressing during a trial spell and originally linked up with the Under-23 squad. Following a promising start to the campaign with the 23s and after adapting seamlessly to the first team environment at Middlewood Road, Urhoghide was handed his maiden senior appearance in January for Wednesday’s FA Cup clash at Brighton. The defender’s inclusion on the teamsheet raised eyebrows with fans and media alike, as the unknown quantity was thrust into action at The Amex. Wednesday progressed from the third round tie on the South Coast with a 1-0 win and Urhoghide’s performance was a talking point at full time after the youngster delivered a strong display in the full back position. And the former AFC Wimbledon man could hardly hide his delight and pride at making his senior bow, with his post-match interview attracting over three million views across the Owls’ social media accounts. Urhoghide has made four senior appearances this term and has committed to another season with Wednesday. Must be good news? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Surprised it’s only 12 months. Really hope he can kick on. Had a couple of good performances, couple of poor ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Just another 12 months? He’s 19! In 12 months after a good season a Premier League side could take him for nothing? Why don’t we offer 2-3 and leave us in a position to sell if he is successful. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only saw the poor ones and in truth he looked way off what's required but then so did the rest of them .... he's going to be cheap so worth a another year . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Good news. Let's hope he can kick on from his early promise. We seem to be inserting option to extend clauses in contracts nowadays, if the Pelupessy situation is a guide, so wouldn't be surprised if there is an option to extend built in.

TrickyTrev Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Worth another year at his age but I hope he’s loaned out rather than played in the first team, he’s way off Championship standard at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 He's worth another year but he's another footballer that I fear is more of an athlete than a footballer. Gets by on his pace but will get found out by good players. 1 Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Good news, and I think these one year deals are because we don’t know which division we’ll be playing in Like JP, and perhaps Penney, he will have a further 12 months to impress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you surprised look at all of the other fantastic contractual decisions this club has made in the last few years!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I am neither punching the air or punching the wall with this news. From what I saw didn't look up to standard but only 19 and read he played well in a few away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, maybe if he does have a rapid rise next season we have something in place in the contract that suggests we have first option on extending, bit unfair to be critical on this without knowing what is in the contract.
