Sheffield Wednesday have completed the loan signing of Luton Town’s Jerry Yates until the end of the season.
The Doncaster-born striker, who has previous Championship experience with Swansea City and Derby County, could make his debut against Wrexham on Saturday.
“I think my first ever football game was a Wednesday game that my uncle brought me to, so it’s a bit of a weird one coming back after all these years. I’m just so excited,” he told the club’s YouTube channel., external
“When my agent told me, I was just like ‘get it done, ASAP’. You might never get a chance to play for a club this big ever in your life. It’s one of the biggest in England, so I’m more than honoured – and I feel very lucky to be here.
“I want to come here and help the lads because it’s been a difficult situation for the club.”
The 29-year-old has made 29 appearances for the League One Hatters this season, scoring seven times.
