The Sheffield Wednesday youngster has been praised by Danny Rohl following the next big step in his career.
As Sheffield Wednesday look to identify the final pieces of the puzzle in the summer transfer window, they have also looked towards players within their ranks and who can make the step up to the first team.
Similarly, Danny Rohl opted to turn towards Sheffield Wednesday academy player Bailey Cadamarteri during the 2023/24 Championship campaign, and the youngster was able to make a solid impact for the side, however he now looks likely to move out on loan to League One outfit Lincoln City.
Rohl certainly never opts against giving game time to the youngsters, as he did in the cup win away at Hull City, which saw a massive 11 changes to the side that beat Plymouth Argyle in the Championship season opener.
After impressing in the cup, a Sheffield Wednesday youngster has been promoted to the first team after massively impressing the German boss, who described the midfielder as ‘fantastic’.
Danny Rohl praises Sean Fusire after being handed Sheffield Wednesday promotion to first team
After impressing in the EFL Cup vs Hull City, Owls youngster Sean Fusire has been handed a well-deserved promotion to the first team, with the 19-year-old having ‘changed changing room from the academy to the first team’.
Speaking to The Star, Rohl said: “I am convinced it will be most helpful for him to train with us again and again. He trains with us in the first team.
“It is fantastic to see. I like his attitude, he is very calm, he is always listening and he wants to learn. These are the tools you need to make the next step.
“For young players it is not about doing it one week or two weeks, it’s about consistently coming to the next level and for this hopefully he will soon get the next opportunity to play.”

Sean Fusire has the perfect platform to develop at Sheffield Wednesday
Players in Fusire’s position often have to develop away from the club, with loan moves often getting sanctioned in order to bridge the gap between youth football and being in-and-around a Championship squad.
However, the alternative approach being taken with the youngster could be massively beneficial for his development and career.
Whilst Fusire certainly won’t be dropped into first team league football, he will still be amongst the first team, which is full of experienced heads such as Barry Bannan and Nathaniel Chalobah, who will both act as mentors for the youngster.
He is also being coached by a manager who has identified his talents from such a young age, and there aren’t many better coaches in regards to nurturing young talents than Rohl.
It will be expected that Fusire is hand-fed league experience across the next month or so, but from what he has shown in his minimal first team action so far, there is no doubt that he can live up to the task of Championship football.
