Central defender Yerson Mosquera has extended his stay with Wolves, signing a new five-year deal at Molineux.
The Colombia international, who first joined the Old Gold back in 2021, is currently recovering from a long-term injury layoff, but will remain at the club until 2030, with his contract including a further 12-month option.
The 23-year-old joined Wolves from Atletico Nacional four years ago as one of Colombia’s biggest prospects, but an injury on his Old Gold debut against Tottenham Hotspur was the first of two long-term layoffs for the luckless defender at Wolves.
Following a change of manager at Molineux, Mosquera gained experience elsewhere in FC Cincinnati in the MLS, and while there earned his senior Colombia bow against Uruguay in October 2023.
With 35 games under his belt in the United States, Mosquera spent the second part of last season on loan in La Liga with Villarreal, where he impressed, scoring three times in 18 outings for the Spanish side.

That form readied him for Premier League football, and Mosquera started all of the Old Gold’s first five outings of this season before suffering injuries to his MCL and ACL in a challenge at Aston Villa in September.
Despite having been ruled out since then, Mosquera’s recovery has been positive to date, with a return to full training expected at the start of pre-season.
Head coach Vitor Pereira said: “Yerson has the profile in a central defender that I like. He’s aggressive, strong, fast, good with the ball, and for me he has all the attributes to help us. I don’t have any doubts that he will fit my system.
“He’s injured, but every time he’s playing with teammates and giving energy. He goes to the stadium and tries to share his smile with everybody. This is the profile that I like to be in my side.
“The Mosquera that I see every day brings good energy to everybody. Inside the pitch is a player that can add something more to us. Outside of the pitch, he’s a leader with a smile, and I’m very happy for him and for us.”
