Marsden signing draws closer

Last updated : 18 May 2004 By Andy Parsons

Marsden who will be a key member of the Owls engine room, will be the experienced leaded the club are looking for in their bid to get back into the first division.

Locally-born Marsden exemplified his leadership qualities by skippering Saints to the FA Cup final last year and leading his team out in Cardiff.

If Wednesday do sign the star, formally of Wolves and Sheffield United, he will be expected to play central midfield with Chris Brunt making the left-hand side berth his own.

Marsden has been playing in South Korea since leaving St Mary's last year.
