Wolves youngster Nathan Fraser full of pride after Prem debut

Wolves youngster Nathan Fraser could not hide his delight at making his first start for the club.

The 19-year-old had come off the bench in previous games, but got to start for the first time at the weekend.

Fraser played in a battling 2-1 win over Fulham in the Premier League at Molineux.

On the game, he stated: “It was quite unexpected, but definitely, for me, it's something I've always wanted to do, so it was amazing.

“Obviously we've got a few injuries, so I thought maybe I had a chance, but I wasn't sure if I'd actually get the nod. I found out [Friday] morning, so it was a nerve wracking 24 hours before the game, but it was good."

On starting for the first time, he added: “It's a bit surreal. When you look at it, it's mental when you actually think, 'I've just started a game in the Premier League'. Before the game you just focus on your job and trying to get the three points, which we did, so it was good."
