The Sheffield Wednesday youth player has been spotted training with the first-team during pre-season.
Despite Danny Rohl bringing in nine new recruits ahead of the 2024/25 Championship campaign, he will certainly not freeze out any opportunities for the Sheffield Wednesday youth ranks to get involved this season.
Last season saw Rohl notably give a chance to young striker Bailey Cadamarteri, who went on to play a crucial part in Sheffield Wednesday’s survival from the drop, with the Englishman scoring four goals in the league, as well as getting his name on the scoresheet in the FA Cup.
Young goalkeeper Pierce Charles was also given first-team opportunities in the FA Cup as he went on top play two full 90 minutes against Coventry City.
All eyes now turn to Sheffield Wednesday’s current crop of youth stars, with one standing out that could be given the opportunity for game time under Rohl in the 2024/25 Championship season.
Sheffield Wednesday’s Sean Fusire could play a key role under Danny Rohl next season
Owls youngster Sean Fusire was spotted within the pre-season camp in Austria, per the Sheffield Wednesday website, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if Rohl has the youth product as part of his plans for the next campaign.
Fusire has seen fairly limited first team opportunities so far, getting just one senior start in the 2022/23 campaign away at Fleetwood Town in the FA Cup.
He is yet to be exposed to league football, however also got a substitute appearance in the EFL Cup in the 2023/24 season, being handed nine minutes of game time under Xisco Munoz in the penalty-shootout win against Stockport County.
Fusire’s last campaign was unfortunately plagued with injuries, giving him limited chance to be up to speed for first-team football under Rohl.
Danny Rohl will play a key role in Sean Fusire’s development, regardless of gametime
As shown by how Cadamarteri developed across the last season, Fusire could easily become a regular first team midfield option for Rohl come the end of the season.
The likes of Cadamarteri’s situation will provide a beacon of hope for the Owls’ youngsters who are within contention of a first team spot, with it showing that Rohl will not shy away from handing game time to youngsters when the time is correct.
The German boss is also likely to tinker with bringing Fusire on for spells due to Sheffield Wednesday being slightly more scarce in terms of bodies in the centre of the park.
Even if Fusire wasn’t to get the game time that would see him hugely develop across the season, Rohl having the 19-year-old around the first team squad will be massive for him in developing in training, something that will have a huge impact on his ability.
