New Wolves goalkeeper Dan Bentley happy to take leadership role

Wolves goalkeeper Dan Bentley admits that he has not given a second thought about bringing his leadership qualities to the dressing room.

The shot stopper is backup to Jose Sa for the Premier League side, who signed him in part due to his experience and leadership qualities.

Manager Julen Lopetegui was keen to add characters who would help the team battle relegation and then push up the table.

Bentley said, per the Express and Star: “It's something that comes second nature to me.

“Being the captain at Bristol City was a real privilege for me and to bring my leadership qualities here is great.

“I've been in leadership groups at every club I've been at, so I'm fairly used to being in that leadership role.

“Albeit it will be slightly different than being the club captain, but there's still ways in which I can lead and pass on any experience, knowledge and leadership on to the rest of the group.

“If it helps us, then it helps everyone."
