Sheffield Wednesday boss admits 2014 Nigeria U23 invitee has been superb this season 

Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore sang the praises of 2014 Nigeria U23 invitee Dominic Iorfa ahead of his side's next competitive game against Portsmouth in the League One this coming Saturday, 

The former England youth international, who struggled with injuries for most part of last season, has become a key player in the Owls side which has kept a remarkable twenty clean sheets in the third tier of English football this term. 

Moore is delighted with the form of Iorfa and claims that the Wolverhampton Wanderers academy product is playing his best football at the moment since his arrival at the Hillsborough Stadium in 2019.

Against Peterborough United this past weekend, Iorfa registered a game high five tackles, while making two interceptions as Sheffield Wednesday maintained their three-point advantage over Plymouth Argyle at the top of the League One. 

Moore has insisted that there is more to come from Iorfa after the central defender's outstanding performances in recent matches.

"I think he's been superb, I think he’s gone to another level. I think we're seeing the very best of Dominic Iorfa, and some. There’s more to come from him," Moore said to The Star.

"But he's in a good place mentally, physically, and he's the Dom Iorfa that we know here. He's consistently working on his game, and I told him when he came in that he’d been absolutely solid.

"He's calm and composed, and looks right on top of his game - so credit to him."
 

Dominic Iorfa's long-term future at Sheffield Wednesday is uncertain for the time being as his contract with the League One promotion hopefuls runs out at the end of the season. 

He is a seasoned campaigner in the Championship with 170 career appearances under his belt for three different clubs namely Wolverhampton Wanderers, Ipswich Town and Sheffield Wednesday.
