Announced today on www.swfc.co.uk, Tom Lees signed a new four-year-deal at Sheffield Wednesday after establishing himself as The Owls’ best defender of last season.
Lees played a big part in Wednesday equalling the most clean sheets ever in one campaign. Despite having a couple of years left to run on his existing contract, the new deal ensure he stays at S6 until Summer 2019.
“Lees and Loovens” has become a familiar phrase around S6 as they have been centre-back partners since Lees’ arrival from Leeds United one year ago today. Only missing two league games for Wednesday in the 2014/15 season, this will come as great news to Wednesday all over the place.
With this new deal, if promotion does occur, will Tom Lees captain Wednesday throughout the next few years?
Tell us your thoughts on Lees’ new deal and how you feel about the big game a week on Saturday against Bristol City on Twitter: @72_Wednesday.
