England-born Zimbabwean midfielder Sean Fusire has signed a contract extension with the English Football League Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.
The 19-year-old midfielder joined the Wednesday academy at the age of nine and climbed the ranks to pen his maiden professional contract in December 2022.
Fusire made his senior debut in the Emirates FA Cup against Fleetwood in February 2023 and has since posted four further appearances, all in the Carabao Cup.
The young Sheffielder, of Zimbabwean descent, is a regular on the training pitches with the first team and equally at home in central midfield or on the right of the engine room.
He told swfc.co.uk: “I’m ecstatic!
“It’s a massive thing for me and my family, and a massive step in a long journey that I’m hoping to be an even longer journey.
“All the people around me know me as a Sheffield Wednesday player and it’s a privilege to be able to continue the journey.
“I’ve been here a long time and it’s all positive and good memories and loads of development.
“The games this year have been amazing. I think playing against Hull was my greatest moment this year, just in the way I was received by the crowd and having my family there.
“Anyone will tell you that the manager is a big reason for wanting to come here and wanting to stay. For me, he’s shown me that if I need to speak with him about anything, I can approach him and same with his staff.
“I’ve moved from being treated as a young boy coming up, to having demands on me and to have things he expects from me, and it’s been nice to develop into that and have good relationships with him and the staff.
“Now I want to stay fit and play as many games as I can, and hopefully give the manager enough to show that I’m someone he can rely on, and make the most of it.”
