Ben Heneghan: Former Sheff Wed defender joins Fleetwood Town for nothing
From the Fleetwood section
League One strugglers Fleetwood Town have signed former Sheffield Wednesday defender Ben Heneghan.
The 30-year-old, who has not played since suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury last October, was released by the Owls in the summer.
He becomes Lee Johnson’s first signing as Cod Army boss and might make his debut at Burton Albion on Saturday.

Fleetwood, who are without a win this season, have not stated how long Heneghan’s contract is.
