Holy Blues bag young midfielder

Gainsborough Trinity have signed young Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Jay Glover on a three-month loan deal.

The 19-year-old made his Owls debut in the EFL Cup earlier this season.

Since his breakthrough into the Senior side at Hillsborough, the energetic central midfielder, who can also play at wing-back, has trained regularly with the first team.

He has also featured on a regular basis for the club’s U18s and U21s sides.

Following Sheffield Wednesday’s exit from the EFL Trophy, Glover linked up with Belper Town, where he made three appearances in total.

"I spoke to a few of my former teammates (from Sheffield Wednesday), who are really enjoying their football at Gainsborough, and also to my agent who represents a few of the lads at Trinity, and it seemed a really good fit,” Glover said.

“I have just done a month at Belper, but when the chance comes up to play at a team higher up in the league and doing well, it’s a lot more appealing."
