Joe Hodge is targeting a first team breakthrough at Wolves this season.

He starred in the 2-1 Papa Johns Trophy win over Shrewsbury with a superb brace that included a wonderful 93rd minute winner.

“It's probably something (scoring goals) I've not had enough of since I signed here and started playing," Hodge told the Express & Star.

“I think it's something I've got the quality to be able to do, so the more I can do of it the better.

“I'm getting sharper and sharper every day. I enjoyed being around the first team in pre-season, that's something I'm aiming for. I'm just happy to be training and playing each game, it's better than being sat in a physio room! I feel sharper with each game.

“I think that's why I'm feeling sharper and putting in better performances, it's because I'm playing every game. It's doing a lot of good for me.

“Even just training every day is something I haven't done for three years, so to get back to start playing football again is what I want.

“I'm just happy to be playing. I want to be playing and pushing the level higher and higher.

“I can feel myself getting better with each game, so it's something I want to continue doing and see where it takes me."
