DONE DEAL: Wolves sign Eastbourne Borough striker Fletcher Holman

Wolves have signed Eastbourne Borough striker Fletcher Holman.

The 19 year-old will initially be registered with the U21 team.

Wolves academy chief Jon Hunter-Barrett told the club's website: "Once again our recruitment team have done a fantastic job in unearthing a talent playing in non-league football who is capable to come into our building.

“The big thing with Wolves is we're a football club and academy that provides opportunities for players who have been here a long time and also players who have come from a different environment into ours.

“There are different examples of players such as Nathan Fraser who has been here a long time and Tawanda (Chirewa) who has just joined. Tawanda's had a lot of opportunities to be in and around the first-team environment and he's been here for six months, so it goes to show that this football club is a place of opportunity.

“The important thing for Fletcher is to embed himself and settle. He needs to get to know the group, get to know the staff, utilise the facilities that are available at a Premier League club and then get himself some minutes on the pitch."
