Zero goals in seven games: Ex-Sheffield Wednesday man struggles for form after stern ‘good riddance’ exit message

Former Sheffield Wednesday striker Ike Ugbo has failed to score in seven appearances since joining Cypriot club Apollon Limassol on an initial season-long loan. The 28-year-old departed Hillsborough during the summer following an acrimonious exit, which included critical public remarks from former administrator Kris Wigfield. Ugbo's seven outings for Apollon Limassol have all come as a substitute across league play and UEFA Conference League qualifiers.

Ugbo's struggles follow a difficult permanent spell with Sheffield Wednesday, where he scored only twice in 62 appearances. In Cyprus, he faces stiff competition from starting forward Alen Ozbolt, who has netted seven goals in 11 matches. Meanwhile, new Sheffield Wednesday manager Dave Challinor continues to search for reliable attacking options among squad members including Jamal Lowe, Davis Keillor-Dunn, Mason Burstow, Ali Al-Hamadi, and Harry Gray.
