Al-Hamadi to Join Owls On Loan
Monday, 24th Aug 2026 23:52

Blues striker Ali Al-Hamadi is joining League One Sheffield Wednesday on loan for the season.

Earlier this evening it was reported that the 24-year-old was interesting the Owls but that appears to have understated the position with the Iraq Football Podcast, which is close to Al-Hamadi, revealing that he is joining the Hillsborough club and that the player is “excited to join a historic club with a huge fan base”.

Three weeks ago, the Iraq international, who hasn’t been given a squad number at Town, was close to joining Polish club Raków Częstochowa on loan before cardiac issues emerged in his medical and the move was called off.

Al-Hamadi spent last season on loan in League One with Luton Town but missed much of the campaign through injury.

For the Blues, Al-Hamadi has made four starts - one in the league - and 25 sub appearances, scoring five times having been signed for an initial fee of around £1 million in January 2024, playing a role in the first Championship promotion under Kieran McKenna.

Two of his Town goals were scored against the Owls as they were thrashed 6-0 at Portman Road in March 2024.

armchaircritic59 added 00:05 - Aug 25 Great news for Ali. I'm not exactly sure what his true level is right now or what it might become given a proper season of games under his belt ( hopefully ). One thing I am sure of though, the guy deserves to catch a break. Maybe he's finally going to get one.

jas0999 added 06:43 - Aug 25 Great move for the lad. Hopefully he can stay fit. League one a real opportunity to restart his career after a couple of unproductive seasons … not his fault though.

Bazza8564 added 08:34 - Aug 25 Another player recruited to bolster a thin forward line whose ability was overtaken by our subsequent promotion success. L1 should be an ideal platform for Ali, I wish him well. He will be on good money with us in the PL so it should be a good final year for the lad.

Edmundo added 08:59 - Aug 25 Hope he gets any cardiac issues sorted. Far too many young players taken too early as we've seen. Then hope he kicks on at Wednesday. I still think there's a top player in there. People forget the likes of Vardy and Watkins took a few years in football at various levels before they were stars.

PortmanTerrorist added 09:06 - Aug 25 People forget how sought after he was when he signed for us and how varied his goals were albeit at a lower level. Agree that I have no idea what his level is, but I def believe in AAH and have a feeling he will do well for Wed....if he stays healthy! Good luck, be well AAH

PhuketPete added 12:02 - Aug 25 Bluesissy clearly doesn’t!Subscribe to the once a blue, always a blue saying. But that’s what Ali is. A Blue. He’s earned our respect for the way he a conducted himself despite quite a bit of misfortune. I’d love to see him smash it with SW and get his career back on track. Here There or Wherever

armchaircritic59 added 17:58 - Aug 25 Strange how it too often works in life, if people can't honestly find anything good to say about something or someone, how easy it is for them to find something bad and let everyone know.
