and live on Freeview channel 276
A video he posted on social media shows him running around the indoor facility at the Owls’ Middlewood Road training centre, suggesting he remains on-track for a pre-season return from an achilles injury that has seen him out since December.
Iorfa, Wednesday’s player of the year for the 2019/20 season, was a huge miss at the heart of defence and manager Darren Moore has previously spoken about his desire for the former Wolves man to be back in time for pre-season.

“I’ve been building up my strength and I’m at the point now where I’m able to run indoors and in the pool, then I need to start running on the treadmill and once that’s ticked off I’ll be back on the grass.
“It was tough at the start, the first few weeks I was in a dark place, it’s my first long term injury and it was tough watching the boys train.”
“The support from the boys when I first came back after a month away resting was really good.

“The hardest part was the first two months when I had a boot on and was on crutches, I couldn’t do much or even leave the house. Then the boot comes off and you can start doing weights, thankfully it’s kind of flown by.”
