Wolves midfielder Karl Henry is happy to fight for his place at Molineux after reports linked him with a move to Premiership rivals QPR. The 29 year old said: "It (competition) has always been the way and, until they (Frimpong and Jonsson) came in, maybe we had five or six attacking midfielders and only myself as a defensive midfielder.

"In the past we've had other players who could do the role, such as Michael Mancienne, and maybe we've not really replaced them.

"We all want competition for places deep down because we know it's good for the club and keeps everyone on their toes and also is important if we pick up injuries."

He added: "I've got to the stage where I'm happy here, I want to stay in this league and I'll continue to do what I do to the best of my ability.

"Sometimes I'll have a stinker but hopefully more often than not, I'll do okay.

"As regards the link with QPR, that's the first I've heard of that.

"The last time I was linked with QPR was before I signed here. I had a medical there and agreed a contract with them and nearly signed for them.

"But I came to Wolves, I'm still very happy here still. It's news to me."
