Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood returned to the line-up at the weekend after manager Jos Luhukay was fired.

Westwood helped the Owls keep a clean sheet as they earned a 1-0 win over Preston.

The goalkeeper had been linked with an exit from the club in recent days, to rivals Leeds United.

The Daily Mirror (11/12; page 53) reported Leeds were considering a January swoop for the then out of favour stopper.

Westwood, 34, had not played a single game all season for Sheffield Wednesday.

He admitted afterwards that he did not expect to ever play for the Owls again.

Leeds are looking for an experienced goalkeeper to provide back up and competition for Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

Westwood would have been a superb addition for Leeds, and the move should have appealed to him, to be in a situation where he would be considered for first team football.

Now this has all changed for him at Sheffield Wednesday and he is back in favour. Leeds can forget about him.
