Atdhe Nuhiu has signed a new two-year contract with the club, according to the Sheffield Wednesday official site.

The Kosovan striker has been one of the players to benefit most from the change in managers this season because Jos Luhukay has been able to get the best out of him as a goalscoring threat. His performance in the last match of the season against Norwich was the best example of this because he scored his first hat-trick for the club.

He has 11 goals in 28 league appearances this season with 10 coming in his last 15 games. In contrast, he scored 11 league goals in two and a half seasons under Carvalhal. Carrying on this form next season should get Wednesday back to fighting for a play-off spot or potentially even higher as they aim to move on from this disappointing season.

The Verdict

It looked like Nuhiu was leaving the club at the end of the season, but he has found a new lease of life under Luhukay. His recent form has been key in the decision to give him a new contract, but he deserves it because his goals helped the Owls through a crucial period and enabled them to finish the season comfortably away from the relegation places.

A full season for Nuhiu under Luhukay is an exciting proposition for fans because his numbers have been outstanding in the brief time the Dutch manager has been at the club. Wednesday certainly have a number of good attacking options, which will be key next season.
