Bohemians midfielder Gary Deegan is being tracked by Wolves.

The Express & Star says the 21-year-old is out of contract at the end of the eircom League season in October and would cost little at a tribunal.

Bohemians was where Wolves recruited Stephen Ward in January 2007 for a bargain £100,000.

And Mick McCarthy's scouting network is well connected in Ireland from the manager's six years in charge of the national side from 1996-2002.
