Sheffield Wednesday confirm signing of AFC Wimbledon defender

Former AFC Wimbledon centre-back Ben Heneghan has signed for League One side Sheffield Wednesday.

The 28-year-old will officially become an Owls player when his contract with the Dons expires at the end of this month.

The centre-back made 71 appearances in all competitions during his time at Plough Lane, captaining the side on a number of occasions last season.

He initially joined the South Londoners in the summer of 2020 from Sheffield United on a free transfer when Glyn Hodges was in the Wimbledon hotseat.

Heneghan, who operated as a central defender in a back three under Mark Bowen, scored four goals during his Wimbledon career.

His physical presence was also a vital part of the side, with his towering height helping Heneghan record the most clearances in League One last season.

The length of Heneghan’s deal at Hillsborough has not been disclosed.

The Dons have been linked today with a move for Rangers winger Josh McPake.
