Wolves goalkeepers Louie Moulden and Andreas Sondergaard will spend the remainder of the 2021/22 season on loan at Ebbsfleet United and Hereford respectively.
The duo, who have both featured heavily between the sticks for James Collins' under-23s during the past few seasons as well as backing up the first-team keepers, will further their development in the sixth tier of English football.
Matt Jackson, Wolves' strategic player marketing manager, told the club's website: “When finding a loan for a goalkeeper, every club has to look further down the pyramid. When a league club wants a goalkeeper, they generally want experience and there's always several experienced keepers floating around the system.
“This means the only way young goalkeepers can gain experience, especially for their first loan away, is by going to a different level, but you still have shots to save, you still have bodies around you at set-pieces and the pitches might not be at the same standard they've been used to, so it's a fantastic learning experience.
“The good thing about where Ebbsfleet and Hereford are in the pyramid is that we can monitor both players closely, we can have them back into the building on a regular basis and we can maintain their really high coaching standards, while continuing to grow the goalkeeping network that Scott Fry has done so well to develop.
“Both Louie and Andreas will have to cope with the physical side of the men's game and all the tough elements of goalkeeping. They will make a few mistakes, which we all do early in our careers, but the challenge is to learn from them, progress and show a really good spirit to improve in their development."
