Why Sheffield Wednesday didn't sign Ravel Morrison - but 'the door is not closed'...
and live on Freeview channel 276
Morrison, 28, spent some time training with the Owls last month as he looked to try and land himself a deal at Hillsborough – at least in the short-term – after leaving ADO Den Haag earlier in the year.
However it was revealed earlier in the week that the former Blade had stopped training with Moore’s side after they made a decision that they wouldn’t be signing him, and the manager has now revealed his thinking as he also explained that they may still take a look at him for next season.

“That was the only thing, really… The door is not closed on him, and we’ve spoken. He’s not training here anymore, but for the future we’ll keep in touch with him.”
Morrison was one of a couple of players that Moore had on trial at Middlewood Road over the last couple of weeks, with Premier League winner, Danny Simpson, also spending a spell there – however they also opted against signing him and he went on to join his old Leicester City manager, Nigel Pearson, at Bristol City.
