Ciaran Brennan has brought his eleven-year stay at Sheffield Wednesday to an end.
The defender joined Sheffield Wednesday’s academy in 2013 and went onto make his senior debut in the Carabao Cup seven years later.
Brennan enjoyed a brief spell in the starting line-up during the 2021-22 season, but mainly spent his time at Wednesday out on loan.
The 24-year-old spent time with Gainsborough Trinity, Notts County, Swindon Town and Hartlepool United, most recently returning to Hillsborough in January.
Unknown to him at the time, Brennan’s final appearance for the Owls came in January 2022 and he has now officially left the club on a free transfer.
The centre-back was quick to find a new club, with League Two side Newport County confirming his arrival yesterday.

After spending most of his life at Middlewood Road, Brennan’s father has now taken to social media to thank Wednesday.
He wrote on X: “Ten years of contributing to this wonderful club week in & out It was an absolute honour Thank you to literally hundreds of people @swfc – coaches & staff through academy & first team & so many great team mates They have helped & educated Ciaran in so many ways.”

Brennan only made 18 appearances for Wednesday in the four years that followed his senior debut, while he has only managed 47 career appearances in total.
The defender has rarely managed to pick up regular game-time even out on loan, so his exit comes at an important time as he looks to finally kickstart his career.
