Sheffield Wednesday's new loan signing James Tavernier did not have to think twice about joining the club's promotion drive.

The Newcastle defender, 20, who recently completed a loan spell at Carlisle, arrived at Hillsborough on Monday and will stay until January. Tavernier told the club's official website: "I went back to Newcastle after my spell at Carlisle had finished and I spoke with the manager, who wanted me to go back out on loan. "When Sheffield Wednesday showed an interest, I wanted to come here straight away. "It's a huge club with a big fanbase. I know Wednesday are doing really well in the league so it was a really easy choice to come here." Tavernier added: "I like to get forward, run at full-backs and get involved in the attacking play, so you will see me getting up and down the pitch a lot during games."
