Sheffield Wednesday v Yeovil: Johnson hoping for Wednesday recall to try to earn new deal

The Jamaican international will be out of contract in the summer and has yet to be offered a new deal.

Injury-hit Johnson, 30, was wanted by Nottingham Forest last summer but has started only six games this season.

Speaking ahead of tonight's game against Yeovil, Johnson said: "I love this club and I don't want to leave – but if the opportunity comes along and this club doesn't want me to stay, I will have to move on.

"I would love to stay but there have been no discussions and we don't know what the gaffer is doing yet." he added. "As a player, you always want to play high in the league and, when you are playing well, teams are going to come and look for you – but I want to stay and do well for this club."

With manager Alan Irvine set to make changes after Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Leyton Orient, Johnson is hoping for a recall to the side.

"I'm trying to fight my way back into the team," he said. "I was a bit upset at being dropped but I know the gaffer tries to make the right decisions and I have to be respectful of what he is doing."

The Owls have dropped to 12th spot in the League One table, five points adrift of the play-off zone.

"We need to get points," said Johnson. "I thought we would be running this league but it's been hard and far different to the Championship."

Last six games: Owls LWLLDL, Yeovil DDWWWL.

Last time: Owls 1 Yeovil 1; January 7, 1939; FA Cup.
