The Wednesday Word reported recently that James was expected to sign a one-year deal back at Hillsborough after impressing in training, and now his return has been announced officially.
He said of his return, “I didn’t think when I left two years ago that I’d be coming back here being able to wear the shirt again, but obviously I’m absolutely delighted.
“From the first training session I had here, I was made to feel really welcome. The changing room is a really good changing room, a great group of lads.
“I’ve been promoted from League One three times, once with Wednesday, and you can try and give whatever wisdom and whatever help you can for the younger players. We all want to push each other as much as we can.”
Meanwhile, Sporting Director, Simon Wilson, said, “We are delighted to welcome Reece back to Sheffield Wednesday. In addition to providing cover and balance for the squad, he is a fantastic player for the dressing room and the training pitch.
“Often these players are not the ones who get the limelight, but they play an essential role within the group. Reece has a deep feeling for the club from his past here and he is a perfect fit for what we need right now.”
James’ arrival makes it 15 new signings for the Owls this summer, with a handful more expected before the window closes on September 1st.
