Owls boss Danny Rohl is an admirer of the teenager, who is the son of former Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town forward Danny.

Speaking after the win over Blackburn, Rohl said: “I'm convinced about him. It was the reason why I took him immediately when I saw him. I see special things from him.”

Cadamarteri joined the club at under-nine level and penned his first professional contract in S6 last year.
