Squad

André stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” André and Wolverhampton agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Liam Reid steps up from the Wolverhampton academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Liam Reid has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
