Wolves manager Bruno Lage hopes John Ruddy signs a new contract with the club.

The veteran goalkeeper will be a free agent at season's end.

Asked if he would like him to stay with the club, head coach Lage said: "In my opinion, yes.

"I don't know what he has in his mind but we need a day to talk about it.

"In my opinion, I am pleased to have John around us.

"He's one more guy that deserves to play much more. John gives a lot of things and is an important voice in the dressing room

"He is a leader by example and works hard every day.

"If Jose is having a fantastic season it is because John is there. John is so important for us and I have no problem saying he deserves to play more, but Jose for now is having a fantastic season."
