Sheffield Wednesday manager Dave Jones believes that Stuart Gray's experience will benefit his side's attempts to escape the Championship relegation zone.

The Owls are currently in 23rd place in the Championship table after they lost seven of their last eight league games and Jones has revealed that he hopes Gray will bring in a different perspective at Hillsborough.

Jones told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I felt that getting in a bit of experience would help the players and the coaches. He'll lead the pack amongst the coaches and brings a new point of view."

"It's a long time since I've been down at the bottom looking up and, no disrespect, but Stuart has experienced a lot of that over the last six or seven years.

"It's nothing to do with what we already have, because they're a very good bunch of coaches, but I just thought this was the right move to make."

Jones has previously worked with Gray at Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
