Former loanee top of Sheridan's shopping list
Alan Hardy is disappointed that news of Athletic's interest has leaked through a Sheffield radio station. He said, "I am disappointed news has leaked out as we try to keep negotiations for players private until terms have been agreed. We have spoken to Sheffield Wednesday and they have given us permission to speak to the player which we have done, and we are waiting for an answer from him."
A proposed £200,000 move to Southend United has fallen through due to contractual issues after Clarke had spent time at the Shrimpers on loan.
