Former Sheffield Wednesday defender Glenn Loovens was in action for Sunderland today.

Glenn Loovens left Sheffield Wednesday for Sunderland in the summer transfer window, and it seems that the Black Cats’ fans have taken to him.

Loovens was on the books of Wednesday from December 2013 until the summer of 2018, and was an important player for the Owls.

The 34-year-old central defender moved to Sunderland in the summer transfer window, and the Dutchman seems to have made a strong start to life in League One.

Loovens was in action for Sunderland against Scunthorpe United at the Stadium of Light on Sunday afternoon.

The central defender started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, and Sunderland fans on Twitter were impressed with his performance.

Sunderland supporters’ opinion of Loovens following the match against Scunthorpe will be of interest to Wednesday fans, especially on a day when they lost and were defensively disappointing.

The Owls’ disappointing start to the season continued on Sunday afternoon, as they went down 2-0 to Brentford away from home in the Championship.
