Steven Fletcher today insisted he has never considered leaving Wolves as he was told he has finally earned a place for keeps.

Reports have suggested the £7m club record signing was set to quit the club because of a lack of games.

Fletcher has made just 10 Premier League starts since joining from Burnley, although he has made a further 14 substitute’s appearances, scoring six goals.

But the 24-year-old said he has never wanted to leave Molineux as he prepares to line up against Stoke tonight at the Britannia Stadium.

He said: “I’ve never ever thought about leaving here and all I want to do is just prove myself with Wolves,” said Fletcher.

“The club bought me for a lot of money so I want to repay that by doing what I was bought here to do which is score goals.

Manager Mick McCarthy has told the former Hibernian striker he has won a regular starting spot in the side and Fletcher added that Wolves’ players are relishing the prospect of a battle against Stoke.

“We’re a full-hearted team who go in for tackles – we’re in a relegation fight so we’re not going to back out of anything,” said the Scot.

“We’re going to give everything and hopefully that will see us safe.”
