Thelwell pleased as Ruddy pens new Wolves deal

Wolves goalkeeper John Ruddy has signed a new deal to 2020.

Ruddy enjoyed his first outing of the new campaign on Tuesday evening, keeping a clean sheet as Wolves won 2-0 at Sheffield Wednesday in the Carabao Cup.

Sporting director Kevin Thelwell said: “John was pivotal to our promotion campaign last season, and his clean sheets and consistent performances rightly earned him a spot in the Championship team of the year.

“With Carl's diagnosis a big blow to everyone at the club last summer, John signed for us under difficult circumstances, but his professionalism was evident throughout and his experience of promotion from the Championship with Norwich invaluable.

“John quickly became a well respected member of Nuno's squad and we are delighted that he has signed a new deal."
