MK Dons goalkeeper signs with Sheffield Wednesday
Milton Keynes Dons goalkeeper Connal Trueman has signed with Sheffield Wednesday on a one-year contract, with an option to extend. The 30-year-old was the number two keeper as the Dons secured promotion back to League One last season.
Why it matters for Milton Keynes Dons
The departure of Trueman is a significant loss for Milton Keynes Dons, who will need to find a replacement for the experienced goalkeeper. The Dons have a busy schedule ahead of them, with their next fixture against Luton on January 16, 2027.
What comes next?
The signing of Trueman is a boost for Sheffield Wednesday, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The Owls have the option to extend Trueman's contract by one year, which could be a good move for both parties.
Trueman began his senior career at Birmingham City in 2014 after coming through the Blues' youth system and, after a sequence of loans, moved to Millwall in 2022. He spent three seasons at The Den without making an appearance.
Sheffield Wednesday's sporting director Simon Wilson said Trueman "arrives with terrific references on and off the pitch - he is a talented goalkeeper and another great character to add to the group". Wilson added: "He was part of a promotion-winning team last year and understands the daily standard required to be successful."
Next fixture: vs Luton (away, 2027-01-16)
The Dons will be looking to bounce back from the loss of Trueman with a strong performance against Luton on January 16, 2027. The match is set to be a tough one for the Dons, but they will be hoping to come out on top.
Trueman's signing is a significant move for Sheffield Wednesday, and it will be interesting to see how he performs in the coming weeks. The Owls have a busy schedule ahead of them, but with the signing of Trueman, they will be feeling confident about their chances of success.
