Matija Sarkic determined to prove himself at Wolves

Matija Sarkic is delighted with his new deal at Wolves.

The goalkeeper will be part of the first team squad this summer after being rewarded for an impressive loan at Birmingham with a new three-year deal.

He faces tough competition in Jose Sa, who shone for Wolves last season, but the 25-year-old is adamant that he will fight for his opportunity.

“I've had two loans since being at Wolves and I like to think I've done really well in those loans," he told the Express & Star.

“I've tested myself on both of those occasions and done really well, so this is just another test for me.

“But I back myself to get the spot and push Jose. I'm not here just to sit on the sidelines, I want to get that number one spot.

“Obviously pre-season is tough and I'm just getting back to fitness. It feels like the season where I'm gelling with the boys, because I've been away for the past two seasons, so I've enjoyed it so far."
