James O'Connor
Almost within hours of Burnley and Jimmy parting company there was speculation that he would sign for Wednesday but nothing was confirmed until today when they revealed that he would be joining them on a Bosman transfer.

Manager, and former Claret, Brian Laws confirmed at the end of the season that the midfield was the area that most needed strengthening and he was happy to get his man. "I am delighted to have secured the services of James O'Connor," Laws said.

"He is a proven player at Championship level and brings a wealth of experience to a key area of our team. James will bring an excellent work rate, great attitude, and numerous other qualities to our squad."
