Sheffield Wednesday players have reacted after Reece James took to social media to say his goodbyes to the club…
Reece James joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan last season and made a total of 34 appearances, with his only goal coming in the dramatic play-off semi-final second leg victory over Peterborough United.
The full-back was then awarded with a permanent contract, but Darren Moore’s exit left him out in the cold.
Xisco Munoz handed him only eight minutes of action, and while Danny Rohl gave him an early chance, he failed to make an appearance since February.
It came as no surprise when James was named as one of six players to be released at the end of their contracts.
James took no time at all to find a new club though and was quickly snapped up by Rotherham United, who have just been relegated to League One.
Following his move, the 30-year-old took to social media to address the Wednesday supporters.

He wrote: “Evening Owls.
“I’d just like to say how grateful I am to each and every one of you for the support that you’ve given me over the last 2 seasons.
“The memories made when clinching promotion at Wembley and that historical comeback against Peterborough will stay with me as highlights of my career.
“To say it’s been two contrasting seasons would be an understatement, but I’ve hugely enjoyed my time at the club and wish the manager, his staff and lads nothing but success.
