Former Wolves midfielder Matt Jarvis is backing Conor Coady to make a big impact with England.

Jarvis is the last Wolves player to play for England - nine years ago.

He told the Express & Star: “He's taking my thing of being the last Wolves player to be with England, but no, he's been outstanding – and not just last season, but the season before that as well.

“He's been so consistent and, obviously, led by example at Wolves.

“He's the captain, and everything he has done, he has done it well.

“Coady is a massive key to why Wolves have been so successful. I am absolutely delighted for him. He's an absolutely top, top guy."

Jarvis, on his England experience, added: “There is no better feeling. I was fortunate enough that mine was at Wembley with 85,000 fans, and all my family and friends there.

“It was a dream come true. As a kid, that's what you dream about doing.

“Coady will be feeling that, too. It'll be a bit different for him than it was for me as he'll probably know a fair few of the players already, while it was kind of like the first day at school for me.

“I'm sure he'll fit in comfortably. He'll be so proud, and so will all of the Wolves fans. I wish him all the best."
