Joe Crann comments on the future of Di’Shon Bernard at Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday centre-back Di’Shon Bernard faces an uncertain summer ahead.
Di’Shon Bernard, 23, sees his Sheffield Wednesday contract expire at the end of this month, following an impressive maiden season at Hillsborough.
The former Manchester United centre-back became a well-liked name among fans following his strong performances in defence.
He featured 34 times in the Championship, showing his qualities as an athletic defender who can win battles on the ground and in the air.
Bernard ended the season with the second-most clearances-per-game at Sheffield Wednesday (3, behind Michael Ihiekwe on 4), and the fourth-most tackles-per-game (1.5), as per Sofascore.
Fans are desperate to see Bernard sign a new contract with an offer on the table, per the club’s retained list which was released in May.
But Bernard may well, technically, become a free agent whilst away on international duty with Jamaica this summer.

Posting on X, Crann discussed Bernard’s future in S6, revealing that the defender could technically become a free agent whilst away on international duty.
Jamaica play in the Copa America this summer with the Reggae Boys playing their first group game against Mexico on June 23rd.
But by the time Jamaica play their third group game against Venezuela on July 1st, Bernard could be a free agent.
Crann adds that ‘hopefully Wednesday can make sure that isn’t the case’.
