Former Wolves winger Stephen Hunt says Ryan Giles will be a first teamer next season.

Wolves head coach Bruno Lage is understood to be a big fan of Giles, currently on-loan with Blackburn Rovers, and wants him to compete next season and former Wolves player Hunt believes he is capable of challenging.

“I've been to a lot of Wolves first team games recently and when I look at the boy Giles out on-loan, he's the one that I think will come back and play (next season)," Hunt said speaking at the Watson Metters Football Legend Golf Series.

“He's doing very well in the Championship and is having a successful season.

“(Morgan) Gibbs-White is out on-loan as well and is doing well, but these boys need games to develop and fingers crossed they'll keep going the way they're going."
