Luke Varney’s time at Sheffield Wednesday may have been defined by loan spells, but his connection to the club ran far deeper. Across three stints, he became a fan favourite at Hillsborough, contributing 11 goals in 43 appearances. Yet, his legacy is bittersweet—forever linked to the Owls’ heartbreaking relegation in 2009/10. Despite his temporary status, Varney felt every bit a Wednesday player, a bond made clear when he broke down after their final-day draw with Crystal Palace sealed their fate. Years later, he still carries the weight of that moment, proving his time in blue and white was anything but fleeting.

Rotherham United manager Matt Hamshaw has not ruled out the possibility of re-signing loanees Mallik Wilks and Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu this summer. With both players set to return to their parent clubs—Sheffield Wednesday and Luton Town—after the final game of the season, Hamshaw hinted that a return could be on the cards if circumstances align. “If they become available again and feel like they want to come back here and I feel like they can benefit us, then it might be something that progresses,” he said. However, he noted that it won’t be a guaranteed move, as he remains focused on improving the squad with fresh talent.
