Wolves goalkeeper John Ruddy feels he can be the club's No1 next season.
The 34-year-old goalkeeper – who has served as back-up to Rui Patricio over the past few seasons – is staying for the 2021/22 campaign under Bruno Lage.
And having made just six appearances last term, he is eager to prove himself to the new head coach and earn more game time.
“I feel I still have a lot to offer on and off the pitch, and hopefully the new manager is going to come in and give everyone a clean slate and I can show to him what I've shown in the last few years, that I deserve more game opportunities," said Ruddy.
“The fact there's only one position in terms of goalkeeping that can be filled, it's been difficult to get past Rui and get game time, even when I felt I deserved an opportunity.
“But with the new manager coming in with his new ideas and new approach, he's going to have certain ways he wants people to play, and it's up to us as players to catch on to his ideas as fast as we can.
“Obviously, I want to play and maybe this is my best opportunity to get back on the pitch, because that is why I signed this new contract and that is what I'm here to do."
