The Owls skipper faces an uncertain future at present as the end of his current Wednesday contract draws closer, and despite the fact that – as previously stated by The Star – he wants to stay at Hillsborough, it remains to be seen whether that will be the case.
Bannan, who has racked up an impressive 447 appearances for the club, was believed to have agreed terms on a deal that would extend his stay in South Yorkshire, however that contract has still not been signed and there have since been complications with regards to the embargo that the Owls currently find themselves under.

His performances for the Red Dragons set the pulses racing among Stoke supporters – but they would have been no surprise to the Welsh coaching staff, with James Rowberry assistant to both Craig Bellamy and Mark Robins.
Indeed Thomas outlined how important Rowberry has been in facilitating the next step in his rollercoaster career.
“People saw it as Belgium, I just saw it as another game, just another game with my teammates that we’re going in there to win,” Thomas said.
