Tranmere Rovers have re-signed Liam Palmer on loan from Sheffield Wednesday.

The midfielder will return to Prenton Park until the end of the season after helping the League One outfit to the top of the table in the first half of the campaign.

"I've been delighted with Liam this season. He has been a model professional while he has been here and a credit to Sheffield Wednesday," Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore told the club's official website.

"He's formed a great partnership with James Wallace and more recently Max Power in the centre of our midfield and he has improved as the season has gone on.

"I think there is more to come from him too. He's not scored yet but I think he has goals in his game."

Moore went on to thank his Sheffield Wednesday counterpart Dave Jones for allowing Palmer to return to Merseyside.
