93.2% accurate back passes: Should Sheffield Wednesday be looking to sign loan player permanently?

24-year-old Jordan Storey joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan from Preston North End in January. 

The defender has done well for the Owls so far having made 12 appearances so far.

As his side currently sit seventh in the league, they are pushing for a play-off place as they are just one point away and have a game in hand over Sunderland who sit directly above them.

Furthermore, his reliability on a passing game is reinforced as we see that 93.2% of his back passes are accurate this season with 100% of them being accurate in his four previous games.

Therefore, Storey’s passing accuracy makes him an asset to his team both going forward and defensively showing us that he is the type of player you want when playing a game on the floor as he adds a calm head and reliability in this aspect.

Defending
