New Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper David Stockdale said that his move to Yorkshire was a 'no brainer' after leaving Wycombe Wanderers.
Joining as a free agent from the Chairboys, after an in-form campaign in which he kept the most clean sheets in the league, Stockdale departs after two years in Buckinghamshire.

In his first interview with the Owls, he said he was "delighted" with the move.
"It was a bit of a no brainer for me," he said: "When I knew it was settled, I spoke to the gaffer, and it was a done deal. I wasn’t touted as being available, everything was fine at Wycombe, but as soon as we had our little chat it was dead on for me. The first thing I said to him was that I’m not here to waste time, I’m here to win trophies. Imagine lifting the trophy with a full house, that’s the thought. I like to manifest my thoughts and live it out."
With more than 400 career appearances across the top four professional leagues in England, he believes that experience is a key component he will bring to the side next year.

He concluded: "He said we’ve got the players, but we need a bit of experience which, if you knock over my zimoframe, I’ve got a little bit of. I don’t take myself too seriously- I said that to the gaffer- and I said I might be disappointed if I’m not playing, I want to play and finish on a high."
