Sheffield Wednesday have released one of their young talents, with Jonatas Centeno leaving the club by mutual consent last month.

That is according to official documents on the FA website, which confirm the youngster left the Owls on the 8th March to try and further his career elsewhere.

The attacking right-back joined Wednesday from Arsenal in 2015 after previously spending time in the youth system at Fulham.

The teenager, who is signed to the massive Doyen Sports football agency, is a former Portugal under-17 international and clearly has lots of promise. However, the 19-year-old has clearly not done enough to win over the Sheffield Wednesday staff and is now a free agent.

He headed to Wednesday at the same time his countryman Carlos Carvalhal made a move to Yorkshire but that has clearly not helped him make an impact on a first-team level.

With the likes of Jack Hunt, Liam Palmer and Sam Hutchinson all capable at right-back the pathway to the first-team was always difficult, whilst others in the development team were considered hotter prospects.

Centeno will now be looking to prove his worth elsewhere as he looks to continue his career in football.
