“Being an ambassador for the Wolves Foundation means a lot to me,” he declared.
“I have witnessed firsthand the positive effects that football can have on the neighborhood throughout my career, so I’m thrilled to be getting more involved.”
“The Wolves Foundation does amazing work in so many areas, and the players are always eager to meet with fans and support the various projects.”In my opinion, I am eager to serve in whatever way I can and am truly looking forward to taking on the role of ambassador.

“His own story in how he has worked so hard to progress and become an established Premier League player, and earned the respect of everyone at the club to become captain, is one which sets a fantastic example for others to follow.
“We are delighted that he has agreed to become a foundation ambassador, and look forward to working closely with him over the coming weeks and months.”
