Chiwome got to play in the FA Cup quarter final against Coventry City earlier this month, which they narrowly lost.

Despite the setback, Chiwome hopes that his rise to first team football can continue.

It's been a bit of a crazy journey and there have been lots of ups and downs," Chiwome told club media.

I started off playing football quite late when I was 10 or 11. I was just playing grassroots for a while and at the age of 14/15 I had a lot of interest for trials with a few clubs - Chelsea, Fulham, Wimbledon and Brighton.

I lived in Brighton at the time so I went to Brighton and they took me on trial. I stayed for around four or five months and they said no.

After that, I went to Wimbledon and after a couple of weeks I got signed. I was there for a year, did well and then Wolves came in. They bought me and said they had a pathway for me through to the first-team which I thought was amazing."
