For any footballer, the opportunity to return to face a former club while away from home with your new side is always going to be an exciting one.

Not only does it give them the chance to come up against old teammates and backroom staff they once worked with, as well as sample the atmosphere that was once so familiar to them, but it also allows them to get the opportunity to prove a point, and, hopefully, get one over on their former side.

One such player who is set to find himself in that situation on Friday night is winger Kadeem Harris, who is set to return to former club Cardiff City with his new side Sheffield Wednesday, just a few months after his departure from the Welsh capital.

Having originally joined Cardiff in January 2012, staying on the books of the Welsh club until his departure at the end of his contract this summer, which eventually led to that move to Hillsborough, Harris will likely be looking forward to taking in some familiar surroundings and catching up with some old friends on Friday evening.

You imagine however, that once the whistle blows, he will be fully focused on helping Sheffield Wednesday take all three points back to Yorkshire with them, and making an individual point in the process.

Despite spending so long at Cardiff, Harris would, for one reason or another, made just 79 appearances in those seven and a half years in the Welsh capital, twice being sent out on-loan first to Brentford and then to Barnsley.

That he was not more of a regular feature for the Bluebirds - particularly during their spell in the Premier League last season - will surely be a source of motivation for Harris here, as he aims to prove that he ought to have been given a greater chance in the top-tier last season.

Indeed, with Cardiff manager Neil Warnock claiming in the build-up to Friday night's clash that the Welsh club were unable to guarantee Harris either the game time or the wages the winger wanted for a new deal when negotiations took place earlier this year, there can be no doubt that the incentive is there for the 26-year-old to go out and prove to Cardiff that they made a mistake in not agreeing to what he wanted in the summer, and he should be confident of doing that.

Despite his struggles to make himself a regular feature for Cardiff over the past few years, Harris has already established himself as an important part of Wednesday's side as they look to push for a play-off place of their own this season.

Up until now, Harris has started all 11 of the Owls' league games this season, chipping in with two goals and an assist, meaning he is likely to get the chance to take on his former club on Friday, and he will know that he is capable of making an impact.

With Wednesday themselves heading into the game eighth in the Championship standings, three places and points ahead of their opponents on Friday night, there is no reason for the Owls as a whole not to be confident of their chances of taking a result from the Welsh capital.

That is something that would surely go down with Harris as much as anyone, and you feel the only way it could be sweeter for the winger is if he plays a direct role in any potential win, as a reminder to his former club, of what they could still have had.
