Hatsuse has passion and fantastic mindset - Rohl

Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl says new signing Ryo Hatsuse had "a passion" to join the club.

The 27-year-old defender is the first Japanese player to sign for the Owls having been on trial since leaving Vissel, who won the J-League title in 2023 and 2024.

"It fascinated me how much passion he comes here [with]," Rohl told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"From the first talk he said he wanted to be a Sheffield Wednesday player.

"He didn't talk with me before. He said 'it's my dream to come here and play for you', and his mindset was fantastic to see.

"It's a good option for us to take him."
