Shrewsbury Town loanee David Davis in Wolves deal extension

Shrewsbury Town loan ace David Davis has been given a contract extension by parent club Wolves.

Midfielder Davis, who is at the Greenhous Meadow until the end of the season, is one of five youngsters who have new deals at Molineux.

The others are twenty-year-olds Danny Batth, Ashley Hemmings, Sam Winnall and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, 18.

Hemmings is now contracted until 2012 and Batth, Davis, Winnall and Mendez-Laing until 2013.

Johnny Dunleavy and Nathan Rooney have been released.

Wolves, who have particularly high hopes for Batth, are undecided on the future of 19-year-old left-back Scott Malone, the England under-19s left-back on loan at League Two Burton.

All but Hemmings, who had a spell at Torquay earlier this season, and Rooney, are currently on loan, with Batth at Sheffield Wednesday, Winnall at Burton, Mendez-Laing at Peterborough and Dunleavy at Barnet.

Boss Mick McCarthy said the players had been offered new deals to give them extra time to establish themselves.

"We were trying to get players through to the Championship a few years ago, but in the Premier League they probably need a bit longer," said McCarthy.

No homegrown player has established themselves in McCarthy's near five years, but he insisted he would love to see one in the first team.
