"Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen announced Bannan wanted to leave the club after the defeat at Ashton Gate, referencing the ongoing issues that will almost certainly see the Owls relegated to League One at the end of the season. Bannan, who has 27 Scotland caps, had told his team-mates of his intentions and that the game against the Robins would be his last for the club. His contract had been due to expire at the end of the season."
""He is bright, sharp, intelligent and has great awareness. One of the things I like about him the most is his adaptability; he can play in a number of positions, something that Alex and I have spoken about on a number of occasions," Gallen added. "He also brings big-game experience, which will hopefully"

Bannan has 27 Scotland caps and informed team-mates that the Bristol game would be his last; his contract was due to expire at season's end.

Millwall director Steve Gallen praised Bannan's adaptability, awareness and big-game experience.
