What Danny Rohl has said about Pierce Charles

Still only 19, Charles has seen little senior game time this season but has been afforded a lot more action in the last couple of months.

The Englishman has started Sheffield Wednesday’s last seven Championship fixtures, and Rohl has opened the door to him becoming their permanent number one.

When asked if Charles can become the Yorkshire outfit’s new number one come 2025/26, the manager said, as per The Star: “He worked very hard and if he continues in this way then yes.

“It is the reason I put him in the goal, to see how far he is. There is a difference between playing a cup game and playing every week or every three days and playing all the time at the highest level.

“You should not forget this. It is especially true for a goalkeeper, for the mind, for the brain it is not easy when you have to play again and again.”
