But Moore, who also signed the forward on loan during his early time in charge of Doncaster Rovers, recognises talent when he sees it.
Moore said: “I have the utmost respect for Tyreece, he’s someone that I know really, really well.

Hide Ad“The player that he is, he’s tremendous. Good off both feet, he sees the game and he moves well. He carries a goal threat and can play in a number of different positions.
“He’s someone with wonderful versatility in the attacking areas and I’m really pleased number one to see him back fit and playing football and number two, managing to secure himself another wonderful loan move.
“I’m sure for him, he’ll want to make this loan move a successful one.

“It’s great to see the move he’s got and I look forward to greeting him after the game.”
Owls left-back Reece James has also worked with John-Jules at two previous clubs, with the attacker also spending a loan spell at Blackpool last term.

"But he is a player we have got to be aware of and try to do as well as we can against him."
