TBR’s View:

Fox has been at Wednesday since his arrival in 2017 and his first two seasons at the club saw him have some inconsistent form.

But the left-back has really come into his own this campaign under Monk and is playing his football at the club.

He is an attack-minded full-back that is looking reliable defensively and looks a threat going forward too.

Fox’s form of late certainly should be enough to earn him a new contract and he’s a real positive for the team if he can continue in the same for.

Meanwhile, Wednesday sit sixth in the Championship table as it stands and their task has to be try to stay in a play-off spot come the end of the season.
