Sheffield Wednesday new-boy Darren Purse has targeted a place in the Championship play-offs next term.

The 32-year-old centre-half was snapped up by Owls boss Brian Laws after leaving Cardiff at the end of last season, agreeing a two-year deal at Hillsborough.

"It's a massive club and it's been outside the top flight for too long, and the chairman and the gaffer have said they want to give it a good go at getting into the play-offs next season," he told Wednesday's official website.

"There is a lot of potential at this club and with three or four signings to add to that squad, there's a massive chance for us."
