Who is Will Trueman? Introducing Sheffield Wednesday's award-winning midfield debutant

A talented and technically gifted central midfielder makes his senior bow the day before his 20th birthday having impressed in the club’s youth ranks for several years.

Trueman is a skilled passer of the ball and is renowned for an ability to pick up the ball and drive at defences from midfield.

In April 2021 he was prestigious LFE Championship Apprentice of the Year for 2020/21, a gong that recognises not only footballing achievements but aptitude off the ball.

Academy boss Steven Haslam said when Trueman was given the recognition: “It goes to show Will’s work in every aspect of his scholarship.

“Not only has he contributed on the pitch, but he’s put a lot of work in away from football and developing himself as a person.

“It’s great for the academy for one of our players to be recognised with this award, it credits all the hard work that goes on by so many staff behind the scenes.”
