Wolves secure new deals for Conor Coady and Matt Doherty

Wolves have secured a major boost for the future after agreeing new deals with Conor Coady and Matt Doherty.

Coady, the Wolves captain, has signed a new four-and-a-half year deal, of around £50,000-a-week, to commit his future to Nuno Espirito Santo’s upwardly mobile team.

Telegraph Sport reported in January that Coady was in talks over a lucrative extension and Wolves concluded negotiations earlier this week.

Coady is also in contention for an England call-up after he was watched by Gareth Southgate’s assistant Steve Holland in the 1-1 draw with Newcastle on Monday night.

He said: “To get it done and be sorted is fantastic, it’s a great for me and my family to be part of this football club for four more years.

“It’s a an absolutely huge football club and I love being a part of it, it’s really special.”

Doherty, the Republic of Ireland international, has also signed fresh terms after establishing himself as a key player under Nuno in the Premier League. His deal will also run to the summer of 2023.

He said: “I last signed about 18 months ago, and it’s been a good ride since then. We’ve got promoted and we’re still in the midst of a really good season, so I’m happy to tie down my long-term future.

“I’ve been here nine years and they’ve not got rid of me, so I’ll be here for a while yet. I love it here and don’t want to go anywhere. I’m completely settled, so long may it continue.”
