New signing Dominic Iorfa has revealed former Owls defender Danny Batth was a big factor in his decision to join the Championship club.

The right-back, a deadline day acquisition from Wolverhampton Wanderers, admits he has talked extensively to Batth about Wednesday and life in South Yorkshire in recent years. The duo played alongside each other at Molineux.

Centre-half Batth, now at Stoke City, enjoyed two loan spells with Wednesday earlier in his career. He was an influential figure in the 2012 promotion-winning team as the Owls pipped arch rivals Sheffield United to second spot.
