Sheffield Wednesday are lining up a move for goalkeeper Ethan Horvath from Cardiff City. With first-choice keeper Pierce Charles sidelined by a shoulder injury and no senior replacement available, the Owls are urgently seeking an experienced solution. It’s not yet clear whether Horvath would arrive on an emergency loan or short-term contract, but his arrival would immediately stabilize the team between the sticks.
The 30-year-old American has plenty of Championship experience, having featured for Nottingham Forest, Luton Town, and Cardiff City since arriving in England in 2021. He made 33 league appearances for Cardiff over the past two seasons. While he’s currently second-choice following Nathan Trott’s arrival, Horvath remains a trustworthy option with a wealth of experience under his belt.
Before that, he was instrumental in Luton Town’s promotion-winning season of 2022/23, keeping an impressive 20 clean sheets across all competitions. For Wednesday, he represents not just cover, but potential point-winning performances during this short-term period of need.
