New Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri has appointed Jonathan Hill as the fourth member of his new sporting director committee.

Hill is a former youth coach at Manchester United and Manchester City and most recently was a first-team coach at Fulham.

He joins other advisors Glenn Roeder and Paul Senior on the four-man committee with head coach Stuart Gray.

"It can never be understated just how important it is that we introduce experienced industry professionals to supplement the innovation of our Sporting Director committee," Chansiri said in a statement.

"Jonathan has an exceptionally strong skill-set and will undoubtedly enhance the core area of Sheffield Wednesday, which is the football infrastructure."

Hill takes Adam Pearson's place on the committee after the latter left less than a month after being appointed to rejoin former club Leeds United.
