Academy

The Wolverhampton Wanderers academy has produced a number of first-team players over the years. But who are Wolves’ current Under-21 prospects striving to make it to Molineux?

First-team manager Vitor Pereira has a handful of the West Midlands club’s academy alumni in Wolves’ squad. Young gems Hugo Bueno and Joe Hodge made their senior set-up from the Category One status academy which also produced Joleon Lescott and Robbie Keane.

Wolves’ latest set of talented youngsters play in the Premier League 2. James Collins took over as the manager of Wolves’ academy side in January 2020. The Black Country club also play their reserve games at Kidderminster Harriers’ Aggborough Stadium and also Molineux.
