Free agent finds new home after Sheffield Wednesday departure
Sheffield Wednesday signed Adam Alimi-Adetoro two years ago after he impressed them during a trial. Before moving to South Yorkshire, he played for Leixlip United and Athlone Town. Over the past couple of seasons, he has been a key player for Sheffield Wednesday’s Under-21 team. Standing at 6ft 5in, the Irish defender made his first and only competitive appearance for Sheffield Wednesday in an FA Cup match against Fleetwood Town in February 2023. Despite training with the senior team on several occasions and participating in the pre-season trip to Spain last summer under former manager Xisco Munoz, his progression to the starting XI was hindered, leading Sheffield Wednesday to make the difficult decision to release him.
