Sheffield Wednesday have agreed a deal to bring back Barry Bannan from Millwall, a major boost for the team, as they look to rebuild after a tough season, with a 24th place finish in the Championship.

What does Bannan's return mean for Sheffield Wednesday?

Bannan's return will be a huge boost to the team's morale and quality, as they look to compete in League One, following a difficult year in the Championship, where they scored 29 goals and conceded 89. The club has been rebuilding their squad after Arise Capital completed their takeover in May, and Bannan's signing is a major step forward.

How will Bannan fit into the team?

Bannan made over 400 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday in his first stint with the club, and his experience will be invaluable in League One, as the team looks to bounce back from a tough season, with a recent form of 2W-0D-3L, and a last result of Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 West Brom on 2026-05-02. The Scotsman is now closing in on a return, with the first team squad currently back in training for pre-season, and his signing will be a major boost to the team's chances of competing in League One.

What's next for Sheffield Wednesday?

Sheffield Wednesday are battling with Plymouth Argyle and Milton Keynes Dons to sign Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Murphy Cooper, as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, and with Bannan's return, the team is looking to make a strong push for promotion, after finishing 95 points behind leaders Coventry in the Championship
