Shea Charles reflects on 'weird' Sheffield Wednesday loan limbo...

Shea Charles, a Sheffield Wednesday player who was re-signed, has opened up about the “weird” circumstance that

left him in limbo at the team.

The news that his home club had decided to activate a recall provision in his season-long loan arrangement last week

shocked the Northern Ireland international. Owls chairman Dejphon Chansiri delivered the news in a memorable

way during a late-night fan forum.

Charles was put in a strange limbo after being called up, but he was still entitled to play in Wednesday’s games

against Bristol City and Leeds United because of a seven-day condition in the contract. The Owls reached a new

agreement to bring Charles back on Thursday, and despite concerns that he might be taken by Sheffield United, a

city rival, the re-signing was finalised on Friday in time for him to play in this afternoon’s match against QPR.

The club media was told, “I’m buzzing.” “The concept of staying for the season was always there, but I was taken

aback when I got the call that I was being recalled. Being here to finish the season makes me very happy.

Despite the bizarre situation, Charles put in impressive performances in both the Leeds and Robins games, a

continuation of a remarkable run of form enjoyed since he joined the Hillsborough club in July. Newly signed and

sealed to the end of the campaign on inflated terms owed to the Saints, the 21-year-old reiterated his happiness at S6

and touched on his clear progress in what has been a successful loan switch so far.

“I wanted to try to play well if those were my final two games, but that’s the case with every game. I want to give it my

all and act in the best interests of the team, the supporters, and the club. Since I’ve been here, the team, supporters,

coaching staff, and manager have all given me a warm welcome. I hoped to join in the summer. Building

relationships in the changing room and on the pitch has only gotten better, and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. There

is no reason why I wouldn’t want to stay.
