Stefan Maierhofer to leave Wolves

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has confirmed Austrian striker Stefan Maierhofer will leave the club after only one season.

The 27-year-old made the switch to Molineux last summer on a three-year contract from Rapid Vienna for an initial £1.8m fee.

Maierhofer had scored 27 goals during the 2008-2009 campaign for his club and forced his way into the Austrian national team, but he failed to make a similar sort of impact at Wolves.

He managed just one goal for the club before he suffered a hernia problem and had slipped out of first team contention by the time he returned to fitness in the New Year.

He spent a month on loan at Bristol City and has now been told he can look for a new club.

McCarthy said: "There is a bit of interest in Stefan from abroad."
