Danny Röhl has praised Michael Ihiekwe for his impressive resurgence this season, describing his progress as something that brings a “smile in his heart.” After a tough spell out of the squad earlier in the campaign, Ihiekwe seized an opportunity following injuries to other players and has since played 14 consecutive 90-minute matches. His leadership was further recognized when he captained Sheffield Wednesday during their midweek draw with Blackburn Rovers. Ihiekwe’s performances have earned him national recognition, with the 32-year-old nominated for the EFL Championship Player of the Month award for March after scoring two crucial goals in recent matches. Röhl highlighted Ihiekwe’s growth, noting how he has adapted to the team’s style and continues to develop, regardless of age.

Pierce Charles’ rise at Sheffield Wednesday took another significant step over the weekend as he made his Championship debut, further cementing his place as a key figure for the club. The 19-year-old Northern Ireland goalkeeper was selected ahead of fellow prospect James Beadle, showcasing his growing potential under manager Danny Röhl. Charles’ impressive development has also earned him additional international caps, recently adding his fifth and sixth senior appearances for Northern Ireland. His progression has been part of a broader trend under Röhl, who has given several young players the opportunity to prove themselves in senior football. Despite no official confirmation on who will start in goal for the upcoming match against Hull City, it is widely expected that Charles will retain his position.

Röhl has expressed confidence in Charles’ abilities, praising the contributions of goalkeeping coach Sal Bibbo, who has played a pivotal role in his development. With Premier League clubs continuing to show interest, including scouts attending Northern Ireland’s recent matches, the future looks bright for Charles. However, the question of whether Sheffield Wednesday will cash in on the young talent, or keep him for the long term, remains unanswered.
