Carlton Palmer is thrilled with Sheffield Wednesday’s recent business move, hailing it as ‘fantastic’ for the club.

Sheffield Wednesday have made a strong impression in the Championship with their proactive and exciting transfer activities. Following Danny Rohl’s contract extension, the club quickly began securing new talent.

In the past five weeks, the Owls have brought in nine new players and secured contract extensions for four key players. Initially, there was concern over the futures of out-of-contract stars like Will Vaulks and Cameron Dawson, who chose not to renew. However, the club’s survival and Rohl’s new deal inspired Barry Bannan, Josh Windass, Liam Palmer, and Dominic Iorfa to commit to new contracts.

Di’Shon Bernard’s future was uncertain as he participated in the Copa America in the United States, but he recently committed to the club with a new contract, much to the delight of fans. Palmer also praised the move as ‘fantastic’ for the Owls.

Speaking to Football League World, Palmer said, “More good news from Hillsborough as Di’Shon Bernard has extended his contract. Bernard joined Wednesday last season from Manchester United on a one-year deal and played 36 times for the Owls in all competitions. It’s great news for the club and Danny Rohl. He’s become a firm favorite among supporters, and it’s no surprise he wanted to stay. They’re aiming for a better season, hopefully pushing for a playoff spot or even better.”

Palmer emphasized the significance of Bernard’s new contract and expressed optimism about the upcoming season. “The fact that they’ve secured his commitment is fantastic news. The club is set to head to Germany for their final pre-season camp, and it’s great to see Bernard on that flight. He played a huge role in their survival last season, so this is a big boost for Rohl and Sheffield Wednesday.”

Bernard’s contract renewal is a significant move for Sheffield Wednesday. While the Owls are likely to continue pursuing new signings, Bernard’s commitment feels like the final piece of the puzzle for Rohl. The German manager has shown he can attract quality players to Hillsborough, but retaining Bernard was crucial. The center-back thrived under Rohl, and with years of development ahead, he could have an even better season. However, the team still needs more quality around him, and Rohl has already indicated he wants to add another center-back this summer.
