Sheffield Wednesday have re-signed forward Ike Ugbo from French side Troyes for an undisclosed fee.

The former Chelsea trainee spent part of last season on loan with the Owls, scoring seven goals in 19 appearances.

Ugbo, 25, returns to Hillsborough having helped Wednesday maintain their Championship status last term.

He scored six of his goals in five games across February and March as the club transformed their form under boss Danny Rohl to stay up after a torrid start to the campaign.

Having begun his career with Chelsea, Ugbo had loan spells with Barnsley, MK Dons, Scunthorpe, Roda JC and Cercle Brugge before joining Belgian side Genk in 2021.

He later joined Troyes after a loan spell there, before spending time on loan with Cardiff City and Wednesday.
