Sheffield Wednesday: Fans send heartfelt messages to Jose Semedo

In a recent interview with Dom Howson, former Sheffield Wednesday man Jose Semedo has opened up about what happened when he was released from the club in 2017.

After seven years of service to the Yorkshire outfit, the Portuguese defender was left to walk out the door as a free agent, with no talks of a potential new contract with the club he loved.

Speaking to Yorkshire Live, Semedo has given his side of the story from three years ago and has stated it was the ‘hardest time in his career’. He said: “All I wanted to do was play for Sheffield Wednesday. I couldn’t see myself with another club but no one called me about renewing my contract.” The 35-year-old also admitted that he would have taken a pay cut to remain at Hillsborough.

Following that interview, Semedo has tweeted his thanks to the supporters. Many Wednesdayites responded to his post and reflected on his time with the club, assuring him that he is welcome back any time. One supporter has commented that he ‘got a bit emotional’ whilst reading the piece, with others branding Semedo a ‘true Owl’ and a ‘Wednesday legend’.
