GM reveals trio's commitment

Image: Buxton: One of three to pen new deals

Sheffield Wednesday trio James O'Connor, Jermaine Johnson and Lewis Buxton signed new contracts despite not being offered better terms.

O'Connor accepted what Gary Megson described as a 'substantial' drop in pay, while Johnson and Buxton agreed the same wages as before. Megson sees it as a welcome sign of their commitment to the club. He told The Star: "They chose to sign because of the club, and not for financial reasons. "James has taken a substantial drop; Jermaine is on exactly the same terms as he was on before, as is Lewis. "Now they have to show what is expected of them."
