Wolves U18 coach Davis delighted Nuno giving youngsters chance

Wolves U18 coach Steve Davis is delighted seeing manager Nuno give the club's youngsters a first team chance.

Chem Campbell becoming Wolves' second youngest ever appearance maker when he made his senior debut for Nuno Espirito Santo's side against Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup last month. Christian Marques and Lewis Richards have stepped up from the U18s to the U23s.

Davis told the club's website, “Those three going out of the group has definitely changed the mentality among the rest of the squad and given them that pathway. It's there, and they can see it clearly. They can see there are opportunities to develop at this club if they get everything right on the pitch and off the pitch.

“The three of them have done that really well, developed quickly and moved up quicker than we all thought they would. They're only young; Chem and Christian are just 16 and Lewis being 17, and we did very well at the start of the season because we had them in the team.

“The players can see the pathway because those three have gone up – which is brilliant – and we hope three or four more will go up to the 23s after January because a couple of them are regularly with the first-team and doing well.

“When young players can see a pathway, it gives them a real character and something to really go for as well."
