Sheffield Wednesday defender Dominic Iorfa is out of contract this summer.
Dominic Iorfa, 29, sees his Sheffield Wednesday contract expire at the end of June, following the conclusion of his sixth season at Hillsborough.
The defender joined during the 2018/19 campaign and has since made 165 appearances for the Owls with five goals and five assists to his name.
Last season, Iorfa featured 28 times in the Championship, missing a large chunk midway through the campaign owing to injury.
Per the Sheffield Wednesday retained list, Iorfa was offered a new contract ahead of the 2024/25 season.
But the defender is yet to put pen-to-paper on a new deal and there remains ongoing uncertainty over whether or not he’ll be with Sheffield Wednesday next season.
The likes of Reece James, Lee Gregory, and Cameron Dawson have all moved on and joined new cubs as free agents.
Dominic Iorfa Sheffield Wednesday future discussed
Much of the discussion around Sheffield Wednesday contracts of late has regarded Josh Windass; the striker is looking increasingly to leave as a free agent at the end of the month.
There’s also uncertainty over Di’Shon Bernard, whilst Barry Bannan and Liam Palmer have extended their stays in S6.
An emerging report from The Star says that there’s ‘no reason to believe’ that talks between Sheffield Wednesday ‘are not still live at this stage’.
This comes after Iorfa discussed his Sheffield Wednesday future back in March, saying: “I’m settled here and I’m happy here but to be honest it’s not something that’s big in the back of my mind.
“I’ve come back from injury so my focus has been on getting back in, helping the team stay up. That’s my focus. If that’s the case (he’s offered a new contract) I’ll be happy, but right now I couldn’t really tell you.”
Should Sheffield Wednesday keep Dominic Iorfa
Iorfa has certainly been a good servant for Sheffield Wednesday over the years, often times putting in good displays when avaialble.
But it’s not too often that Iorfa has been available for large periods at a time. The defender has struggled with injuries during his time in Sheffield.
Danny Rohl though is clearly keen for Iorfa to stay next season, given the fact that Sheffield Wednesday have offered him a new deal.
He remains a versatile player in defence, able to play in the middle or on the right, and his athleticism served him well in the more intense Rohl style of play.
The fact that he’s yet to sign a new deal may suggest that he’s keeping his options open. But The Star’s report also suggests that there’s still a definite chance that Iorfa stays this summer.
