Sheffield Wednesday confirmed on Thursday evening that teenage goalkeeper Jack Hall has signed professional terms at the club.
And, as to be expected, a number of Wednesday fans have been reacting to the news on social media.
Hall, who turned 17 earlier this month, has progressed through Wednesday’s academy and has been a regular in training in Darren Moore’s first-team squad.
He’s also featured for the club’s Under-23’s and made his England Under-18 debut during the current international break. The shot-stopper played on Monday in a 3-0 win over Russia, featuring for 45 minutes.
Hall described penning pro terms at Hillsborough as a ‘dream’, although Wednesday didn’t confirm the length of his first contract on their official website.
