Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Rio Shipston has extended his stay at Hillsborough.

The 20 year old has put pen to paper on a new deal after spending much of last season on loan with League of Ireland side Cork City.

Speaking to the club website, he said: “I am delighted to extend, it’s what I’ve been working towards when going out on loan.

“It was a good experience, I felt like I needed to do it for my career and now I’m glad to be back.

“The people at Cork, I loved every single one of them, they made it really easy for me to go over there.

“Living away from home was something I needed to do, and I feel like I’ve grown as a person as well, and now I’m looking forward to what’s next.”
