Conor Coady signs new five-year Wolves deal
Conor Coady has committed his future to Wolves after signing a new five-year contract.
The deal replacing the one agreed in February last year is thought to be on improved terms, rewarding the skipper for his consistent performances in the Premier League.
Coady has played every second since Wolves returned to the top flight and recently earned his first senior England cap.
“It’s an incredible day, honestly,” he said. “I look at what this club has given me over the years, and it feels like home to me – it has done since the first day I came. I’m honoured to play for this football club every day, so to sign a new deal is absolutely incredible.
“This is somewhere I’ve grown to love. On the first day I came, it was incredible the way people treated me and what the club gave me.
“Over the five years I’ve had kids, and this is all my kids know, all my family knows. When I play on a night and my kids can’t watch, they come and wake me up to ask what the score was.”
News of the 27-year-old’s deal delivers a timely boost to the club following an unsteady start to the new season.
It comes less than a month after head coach Nuno Espirito Santo committed his future by signing a new contract.
Coady, who joined Wolves from Huddersfield in 2015, has seen his career transformed since Nuno’s arrival at the club two years later, having been converted from a midfielder to a leader in the heart of defence.
Last season he became the first Wolves captain since Emlyn Hughes to lead the club out in European competition, not missing a minute as the club reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
