"Barry leaves Sheffield Wednesday as one of the club's modern greats, an inspirational leader on both sides of the white line. Through promotion pushes, relegation battles and periods of extreme difficulty, his commitment, professionalism and passion for Sheffield Wednesday have never wavered. He departs with the deepest respect and gratitude of everyone at Hillsborough, and we all hope he returns to Sheffield Wednesday in some capacity in the future."
"Millwall made an approach for Barry, and, with a heavy heart, he has decided it is an offer that he must accept and gives him the chance to fight for promotion to the Premier League."
Barry Bannan has joined Millwall on an 18-month deal for an undisclosed fee, ending a ten-and-a-half-year spell at Sheffield Wednesday. He made 477 appearances for Wednesday after signing on a free transfer in August 2015, scoring 38 goals in all competitions and becoming the club's sixth-highest appearance-maker. This season he led Wednesday in passes (1,689), successful passes (1,359), touches (2,129), interceptions (33) and possession won (150). Bannan received a standing ovation in his final match. He leaves amid club issues including administration and a 20-point deficit in the Championship table.
