Wolves have snapped up Manchester City youngster Joe Hodge.
The 18-year-old moves to Molineux on a 3-year-deal from Manchester City, where he signed at the age of nine and rose through the system.
Wolves technical director Scott Sellars worked with Hodge at City and said: “I've known Joe a long time, he has a good pedigree and had a good education at City and at international level, and we think we can continue his development at Wolves.
“He's coming in with an injury so won't be fit straight away – we knew that, but he's got a lot of quality, a great personality, he's an intelligent footballer, a good passer of the ball and breaks things up – he's somebody with a lot of potential.
“You look at every avenue to find a talented player, whether he's nine or 18, it doesn't matter, you're always looking for talent to bring in. A lot of our under-18s are going out on loan, so the position Joe plays, we had an opportunity to bring someone in and there is a clear pathway in that position."
