This young striker was mostly used as a substitute by Sheffield Wednesday in 2000-01 but proved a useful acquisition and netted some spectacular goals.

Michele scored his first goal for the Owls with a 25-yard drive at Grimsby Town in August 2000 to earn the club their first victory back in the First Division and his arrival on the pitch invariably excited the Wednesday fans.

He is full of flair, enthusiasm and passion.

Michele joined Doncaster Rovers in August 2006 with a five-month contract.
