Wolves' new arrival Matt Doherty says he's a better player than when he left the club a few years ago.

Doherty was at Wolves for many years, before he traded the Midlands for Tottenham instead.

Now that he is back after a three-year absence, Doherty aims to win back his starting right-back spot.

He told the Express and Star: “I spoke to some friends, but most things I've done in my life so far on and off the pitch, I'll make the final decision.

“My family back home love Wolves but they didn't want me to come back with the potential of ruining what I had before, but it's grown on them quite a bit," he added.

“Once you get going, the league starts and you start playing games, they'll realize it's good. For my own family, I still have my house in Aldridge, so for that reason it was easy to come back."

He finished: “My three years away, in my mind, has been very successful. I've managed to meet new people, learn different things and different sides of the game."
