Owls sign Folly in dramatic U-turn

Last updated : 12 July 2006 By Andy Parsons

The former Southampton star signs a one-year contract at Hillsborough after impressing at the club during the last campaign and will fly out with The Owls to the USA this week.

Because the player is under 24, Wednesday have had to pay a nominal fee as a compensation to The Saints but it will be worth it in the long run as he proved to be a great asset to Paul Sturrock's men for 14 games last season.

Sturrock said yesterday that the player was not training at Middlewood but it's all irrelevant now after the French Under-21 star put pen to paper.
