Sheffield Wednesday transfer news: Excitement of new era lures midfielder
Callum Slattery is excited to be part of a "new feeling" around Sheffield Wednesday after revealing he turned down a number of rival clubs to join on a three-year contract.
Slattery left Scottish Premiership Motherwell after five years at the end of last season but was not short of offers when he did.
He said joining League One Wednesday was an easy decision to make as the Owls embark on what is being billed a "rebirth" under the ownership of David Storch and his investment partners.
“This is such an exciting move at an exciting time for the club," said Slattery. "I had options but ultimately when I knew Sheffield Wednesday were interested, it was an easy decision for me to make.
“It's massive. The ambition is there and we want to be positive throughout the whole season. A club this size with that ambition, it's just great to be a part of.
“It's a clean slate for everyone, and to be joining as a new player and a new feeling around the club, it's special.
“Out there on the pitch, I'll be 110% all the time, every chance I get. I want to make things happen, be creative and help the team go in the right direction.”
He is the club's third signing this summer after defenders Ricardo Santos and Jordi Liongola.
