Wolves 'focused on recruiting home-based players'

Steve Morgan today insisted Wolves are focusing on recruiting home-based players this summer with "one or two" key additions.

Club record £5m midfielder Jamie O'Hara and Dutch keeper Dorus De Vries are Mick McCarthy's two summer signings so far.

Chief executive Jez Moxey is now pulling out all the stops to land the quality centre-half the team craves.

And after qualified success in the difficult foreign market over the last two years, Morgan admitted Wolves are concentrating on British-based players.

"We do seem to have had better success with homegrown British and Irish players," said Morgan.

"It's probably a formula we will stick to. That's not to say we won't sign more foreign players.

"But having that core of a British and Irish base is the right thing for Wolves."

Wolves signed 11 players including two loans over the two windows in 2009-10 after promotion then added another seven over the same period last year.

But Morgan said there would be far fewer arrivals this time, with a centre-back, a left-back and probably a loan striker the targets.
