Joe Bennett is on his way back to the Amex - with Albion's promotion rivals Sheffield Wednesday.

The Aston Villa left-back has joined the Owls on loan for the rest of the season.

Bennett made 42 appearances under Sami Hyypia and Chris Hughton on loan to Albion last season.

The 25-year-old was borrowed by Bournemouth in September but did not make an appearance for the Premier League newcomers.


His spell back on the South Coast was cut short after he sustained an Achilles injury.

Wednesday visit the Amex on March 8. They are currently sixth, a place and two points behind Albion.
