Sheffield Wednesday plans to let Joey Phuthi go when this season ends. The English club told him, plus three other Academy players they won't stay. Club leaders met with these young men recently about their futures. They want space for fresh talent coming through their system.
Phuthi started at Sheffield in 2018 and moved up to their under-21 team three years later with a scholarship deal. The Zimbabwe international trained with senior players before last season began. He signed his first real contract with them just last August. The 20-year-old finally played his first official match for the Championship team in December 2023.
He represents Zimbabwe at the international level with two caps for the Warriors national team. English newspaper The Star broke the news about his expected departure. Phuthi must find another club after spending nearly six years with Sheffield Wednesday. His professional career remains very young despite this setback.
