His stay was brief as after the collapse of ITV Digital, Sheffield Wednesday could not keep afford to keep him due to financial difficulties. He moved to Bristol Rovers the following summer after only four months and no appearances.

On 30 January 2012, it was announced that Uddin had had his contract terminated by mutual consent. A few days later, he signed for
