Wolves defender Hugo Bueno has signed a new five-year contract at the Midlands club.

The stopper has agreed terms that will take him to 2028, committing the next phase of his career to the club.

Bueno emerged as a first team option last autumn, but did have his progress derailed by a knee injury.

He has played 31 games for the first team, having come through the academy.

Sporting director Matt Hobbs said: “Hugo's one of the huge success stories of the club. Bringing him in from a grassroots team in Spain when he was just 16, and he's now 21, playing in the Premier League and being a regular Premier League player. It's testament to everyone involved.

“He's got more comfortable and had a Spanish under-21 call up which was thoroughly deserved. The whole journey, there's been so many people who have played their part, but the one constant has been how good a professional Hugo has been throughout it all.

“We are blessed in that area of the pitch. We've got two young, exciting left-backs, who are slightly different, but both have huge talent. They're competing against each other and they're really close as well, so it's a healthy competition, but we will see the benefits of that from both of their performances."

Bueno added: “I'm so happy to sign this new deal. It's a little bit of a gift from the club for my work and I feel really happy about that, all the confidence they had in me, to give me the chance to play professionally in the Premier League.

"I just want to say thanks to them and hopefully with my hard work I can keep giving them good performances, good matches for the team. To sign five more years here makes me feel at home.

“I'd been waiting a lot for the opportunity in the last years. The moment I had it, I knew that I had to take my chance and make the most of it, and it's what I did. It's been amazing to just train with them every day and now be part of it. Hopefully we can keep going and I can still feel important in the team and do a good job."
