Tommy Doyle proud signing long-term for Wolves

Wolves midfielder Tommy Doyle admitted it did not take him long to realize he should sign for the club.

Doyle left Manchester City to make a move to Wolves on loan last summer, with the deal now being made permanent.

On his conversations with the club, he stated: “They'd said they were happy with what I've done this season and, for me, I feel there's a lot more I can give. We're going in the right direction as a club, we're progressing, so it's exciting to be part of that journey.

“You can see the way we've played this season, some of our football's been really good. We've been very unlucky with injuries, and it's died out a bit the last couple of games which has been frustrating, but that's something we'll learn from.

“We've been hit by many challenges, and I'd like to think we've come through them. It shows the togetherness of the group, how strong we are, staff and fans included, so it'll be good to take that into next season and hopefully we can better the season we've had now."

Asked about leaving City, he added: “I've had many, many years as a City player, coming through the academy and eventually playing for the first-team, and I take great pride in what I've done for that club. It's nice to close that chapter and open up the new one with Wolves and try to progress as much as I can and keep enjoying it.

“I wanted to have somewhere where I'm stable, essentially somewhere I enjoy, and I enjoy it here. It'll be good to do it all again next season."

And on his family's connections to Wolves, he added: “I remember him [his grandad Glyn] saying when I was younger about the team Wolves had when he was a kid – it was a great side. Now I'm here I remember him saying. So, it's obviously a great honor to represent this club and the shirt, and I'm looking forward to going again next season."
