Callum Slattery, born on 8 February 1999 (age 27), is an English central defensive midfielder now with Sheffield Wednesday. His senior career took shape through early loan football, the sort of necessary mileage that tends to separate academy promise from the less forgiving business of weekly first-team selection.
Motherwell, though, is where his career has been made. Across five seasons at Fir Park, Slattery made 126 league appearances and scored 16 league goals, becoming a regular part of the side rather than a passing recruit. His best return came in 2024-2025, when he scored six times in 15 league appearances – a useful reminder that his game has carried more than just tidy defensive work.
He moved on to Sheffield Wednesday, where he wears number eight. In 2026-2027, he has made nine appearances in all competitions, scoring twice, with eight of those outings coming in League One and one in the League Cup. His current market value is around £383,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Slattery’s career is still most clearly measured by his Motherwell years: a long, substantial spell in Scotland, followed by a fresh stage at Sheffield Wednesday.
