Sheffield Wednesday part ways with Lewis McGugan

Midfielder Lewis McGugan has been allowed to leave Sheffield Wednesday by mutual consent.

During the second half of the 2014-15 campaign, McGugan impressed during a loan spell at Hillsborough and his deal was soon transformed into a permanent stay.

However, over the past two years, the 28-year-old has made just 17 appearances in all competitions, with his last outing coming in May 2016.

McGugan had a year remaining on his contract, but the Owls have decided to allow the former Nottingham Forest player the chance to find first-team football elsewhere.

Earlier this summer, McGugan failed to impress during a trial at Cardiff City.
