'Have to give credit': Jerome Abbey move shows big Rob Edwards positive for Wolves ahead of Championship

Jerome Abbey became Wolves’ youngest ever Premier League player when he came off the bench on Sunday.

The 16-year-old followed up an English GCSE exam by coming off the bench in Wolves’ 1-1 draw with Burnley on the final day of the season.

He was the latest youngster to be handed a first team bow by Edwards - as Wolves’ campaign came to an end.

On the new E&S Wolves podcast, Jonny Drury and Liam Keen discuss Abbey’s debut, what sort of a player he is and whether he could get a chance next season.

And they also look at the wider point of Edwards’ attitude to bringing through youngsters and why it is a big positive in what has been a difficult period for the Wolves boss.
