Wolves midfielder Conor McLeod has signed a first pro deal.

McLeod is the younger brother of under-21s striker Ethan who also signed his first professional deal at the start of the year.

Wolves academy chief Jon Hunter-Barrett told the club's website: “It's a proud moment for Conor, his family and for the staff. Conor's been here a very long time so to be rewarded with this on his 17th birthday is definitely something that we're delighted with.

“Supporters and people connected with the football club always want to see local boys come through and get rewarded with a professional contract. Ultimately, the hard work is going to be down to Conor now as to how much he maximises getting his deal.

“Looking in, people outside will always have the vision of the journey being very linear and I think it's very rarely, if ever, linear. For Conor, he's had quite a lot of different challenges, but nothing he's not had the character and support network to overcome."
