Sheffield Wednesday part company with Darren Potter

Midfielder Darren Potter has been released from Sheffield Wednesday by mutual consent, the club has confirmed.

The 26-year-old originally moved to Hillsborough on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 2009. He later made the switch permanent in the 2009 summer transfer window.

In a statement on the club's website, the Owls said: "Potter made 103 appearances for Wednesday, scoring nine goals, and the club would like to thank Darren for his services and wish him well for the future."

A Brian Laws signing and a regular starter during his tenure, Potter was rarely picked by Alan Irvine or Gary Megson and fell a considerable way down the pecking order.

The ex-Liverpool youngster is not believed to have a new club lined up at this stage.

 

He's set to have a go at Quidditch, of which I think he'll fair better.

 

His brother Harry must feel gutted for him.

 

glad to see the back of him to be honest, i would have liked to see o'connor go as well. they have been at the heart of our midfield in the last 2 poor seasons
