Hennessey determined not to play second fiddle at Wolves

After penning his new contract, Wayne Hennessey refuses to accept playing second fiddle at Wolves.

Hennessey lost his place to Marcus Hahnemann last season following two four-goal defeats to Arsenal and Chelsea last November but he remains upbeat.

"I have played a fair few games for Wolves," he said.

"Last season I only played 13 but I still want the best for Marcus and want him to do well when he plays. It's the keepers' union and we all stick together and want whoever is playing to do well.

"You never know what's around the corner in football and nobody knows what will happen next season. There are some really good goalkeepers here and so competition for places is always going to be tough.

"Marcus, Carl Ikeme and Matt Murray are all great keepers. We all want to play but we all want the best for whoever does play. It's up to the gaffer and how well we train and play when we're given the chance. The rest of us have to do what we can and fight for the shirt.

"There are a lot of good keepers here and only one shirt but we'll all just keep plugging away and giving our best. I'll keep trying and hopefully I will continue to improve.

"There are always parts of your game you can improve on and I'm no different to any other player in that respect."
