Goalkeeper Josh Gracey has been rewarded with his first professional contract at Wolves.
The 17-year-old, who arrived from Glenavon in 2024, has established himself for Richard Walker’s under-18s this season as a first-year scholar.
And the shot-stopper has also been recognised at international level with Northern Ireland’s under-19s, as well as making his debut for the Old Gold’s under-21s in the Vertu Trophy earlier this season.
The youngster has now put pen to paper on a first professional deal and academy manager for football, Jon Hunter-Barrett, said: “As always, we’re delighted to reward talent, hard work and commitment when it’s in front of us. That opportunity was there for Josh so that’s why we wanted to do it.
“He has progressed tremendously from when he first came across to what we see now.
“Josh has grown so much in confidence and presence around his goal, so we’re really happy with him in that respect.
“We want to continually try to challenge him and drive that level of improvement for what’s going to be required to be a goalkeeper.”
