Jeffers becomes an Owl

Sheffield Wednesday have captured the services of striker Francis Jeffers from Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee.

The 26-year-old will go straight into the squad for the Owls Championship season opener at Ipswich on Saturday after penning a three-year deal at Hillsborough.

Wednesday manager Brian Laws told the club's website: "I am delighted to have secured a player of Francis Jeffers' calibre here at Hillsborough.

"Francis has spent most of his career in the Premier League because of the quality that he possesses and I believe he can be a regular scorer with us in the Championship.

"We have been looking to secure a top quality striker over the summer and we certainly have that now, going into the new season, which is a really big boost for Sheffield Wednesday."
