Sheffield Wednesday are training with former goalkeeper Cameron Dawson as they explore a potential free transfer. The 31-year-old left Rotherham United this summer and could return to Hillsborough as backup for the upcoming Championship season.
What happened with Cameron Dawson?
Dawson joined Sheffield Wednesday's pre-season training after his Rotherham contract expired in June. The keeper made 56 appearances for the Millers since 2024, keeping 11 clean sheets. He previously spent seven years at Wednesday, making 129 appearances before moving to Rotherham.
Why it matters for Sheffield Wednesday
The Owls need goalkeeper reinforcements after losing Pierce Charles to Manchester City. With Logan Stretch not expected to be first choice, Dawson's experience could provide valuable competition. His familiarity with the club makes him an attractive low-cost option.
What comes next for the transfer?
Sheffield Wednesday have been active in the transfer market, signing Ricardo Santos, Jordi Liongola and Harry Gray. Dawson's situation remains uncertain, but his training with the squad suggests serious interest. The club currently sit 24th in the Championship with 0 points from 46 games last season, conceding 89 goals while scoring just 29.
Dawson's potential return would add depth to a position of need. The Owls face Luton Town away on January 9, 2027, in their next fixture.
