Stuart Armstrong Leaves Sheffield Wednesday After Expiring Contract

Sheffield, England — Stuart Armstrong, a well-known figure in Scottish soccer, is currently without a club after his contract with Sheffield Wednesday expired. The decision comes as the club announced they would part ways with seven players following the conclusion of the English Championship season.

Armstrong, 33, joined Sheffield Wednesday during the winter transfer window after a brief spell with Major League Soccer’s Vancouver Whitecaps. His time at the Owls was not as productive as expected, indicating a challenging year for the seasoned midfielder.

The Scottish international previously enjoyed a successful career at Celtic, where he played for three and a half years. During his stay with the Hoops, he scored 28 goals and notched 25 assists across 144 appearances, helping the club secure two domestic trebles and a total of eight trophies.

Despite his accomplishments at Celtic, Armstrong has struggled to find the same form at different clubs in recent seasons. With rumors swirling about Reo Hatate‘s potential departure from Celtic, some fans are speculating whether Armstrong could return to Parkhead.

The possibility of rejoining Celtic is uncertain; however, Armstrong could serve as a valuable veteran presence in the locker room. He has a strong relationship with manager Brendan Rodgers, which could play a role in any potential deal. The upcoming transfer window may reveal whether Celtic decides to pursue their former player once again.
