Wednesday academy link with Finns

[Mrs H]

Sheffield Wednesday have expanded their international links by tying-up with Finnish third-tier club IF Gnistan.

The Owls academy have already given trials to three youngsters from the Scandinavian outfit - Sami Simola, Jan Elf and Lukas Nyback.

Gnistan official Sipi Ulvas told the Owls' website: "Sheffield Wednesday are a big Championship club and we are delighted to be associated with them."

Wednesday already has similar link-ups in North America, Italy and Australia.



Awww please sign Jan Elf ;D ;D

That's moving in high circles alright. I'm sure they've plenty of gems in the rough.

Can't figure this tie up at all. Unless Sheffield Steelers want to pinch a few Finnish juniors for their hockey programme ?
