Sheffield Wednesday are still weighing up their plans for David Agbontohoma ahead of the forthcoming season. The promising centre-back made his senior bow last season, making two appearances in the Papa John's Trophy.
But former Southampton youngster Agbontohoma mainly played for the Under-23s during the 2021/22 campaign. Although he occasionally trained with the first team, the 20-year-old's last Owls outing came in their 3-0 Hillsborough humbling at the hands of Hartlepool United back in December.
Wednesday boss Darren Moore said: “We’ll have him in training and around the first team because in terms of where he’s at, he needs it.
He needs to be up against the likes of Josh (Windass), Greggers (Lee Gregory) and Pato (Callum Paterson), because they’ll test him. “We’ll look at him in terms of whether a loan would give him some frontline football where he could get half a season on loan, maybe get 20 or so games in, and that will put some power in him, help his understanding and help him grow." It emerged on Tuesday that Agbontohoma had extended his Owls stay.
