Darren Moore reveals transfer plan for Sheffield Wednesday duo

Owls boss Darren Moore is likely to make decisions about the futures of youngsters Ryan Galvin and Alex Hunt after the club have concluded their pre-season programme. Left-sided player Galvin and midfielder Hunt spent time away from Hillsborough last year and were loaned out to teams lower down in the football pyramid.

The pair have trained with the first team since Moore's squad reported back at Middlewood Road for pre-season training on June 20. Moore has given Galvin and Hunt run-outs in the friendlies against Alfreton Town, Harrogate Town and Bournemouth and closely assessed them during Wednesday's six-day training camp in Portugal last week.

Explaining his reasons for taking Hunt overseas with the senior squad, Moore said: "I wanted to see him. He came out to Portugal along with Ryan Galvin and I think that's important for them.

"As pre-season has gone on, he's been getting stronger has Hunty, which has been good to see really. It's a big year for him in terms of his career, so I brought him and Ryan Galvin out to have a really good look at them.

"We've had a look and in the couple of games we've got coming up and they'll be really tested in those. I wanted to bring Alex back in because he went out on loan last season and had a taste of it.

"I said to the chairman 'Before we decide anything with them, I need to see them and the level they're at.' They are two players that have gone 12 months on in their development; they're a lot stronger now and they're working with the group.

"As pre-season has gone on they've been getting stronger and stronger with what they're doing and the next couple of games will put them to the test really against good opposition. It'll help me as a manager to see where the team is at."
