FORMER CITY DEFENDER LINKED TO SHEFF WEDS

Sheffield Wednesday plotting move for former Cardiff City and Celtic defender
By Harry Mail

Sheffield Wednesday are plotting a move for Sunderland defender Adam Matthews.


The 27-year-old is out of contract with the Black Cats next month and is attracting interest from Steve Bruce’s side, according to a report by Football Insider.

Matthew’s future at Sunderland will depend on whether they are promoted from League One this month. They are currently in the Play-Offs.

He has played 28 games in all competitions for Sunderland this season, chipping in with seven assists from right-back.

Matthews, who is a Wales international with 14 caps to his name, started his career at Cardiff City and rose through the youth ranks of the Welsh side.

He went onto play 48 times for the Bluebirds’ first-team before he was snapped up by Celtic in 2011. The 5ft 10inc defender played 150 times for the Glasgow giants and helped them win the Scottish Premiership four times as well as the Scottish Cup and League Cup.

Matthews left Celtic Park in 2015 to move back to England to join Sunderland in 2015 for around £2 million on a four-year deal. Injuries meant Matthews made a slow start to life at the Stadium of Light and he spent time on loan at Bristol City before breaking into the Black Cats’ side.

Sheffield Wednesday are expected to be busy in the transfer window this summer as Steve Bruce looks to put his own stamp on them. Could Matthews be one coming through the entrance door at Hillsborough this summer?

He's had a very strange career. He started off really well and it just seemed to go wrong when he left Celtic and he's even struggled to get back in the Wales team but seems to be picking up again now which is good news.

Never understood the fuss, even when he was with us. Very average.

Strange this,struggled to get into a poor Safc side,on the bench most of the time and and Safc fans want him gone .
The fact that he’s available on a free makes it attractive

Apart from the Micky Mouse league has he been decent anywhere?

Attractive to who?

He is a perfect signing for us.

Let's be honest Peltier will be right back next season under Warnock so we are only looking for back up.

It would be a free signing freeing up more money for a top midfield signing , He will be cheap regarding wages and is a solid championship level full back who is more suited to a wing back role which would allow us to change tactically during a game.

I would take him back as long as the contract is not stupid numbers

Surely getting coxe on the bench to do the same would be the best situation ? Highly rated rb and already plays for us ?

Spot on

From the photo he looks a totally different person to the young man that left us. We've got enough full backs anyway.

If he wasn't a ex City player no one would consider him.
