Tawanda Chirewa
Tawanda Chirewa joined Wolves from Ipswich Town and initially linked up with James Collins’ under-21 side ahead of the 2023/24 Premier League 2 season.
During his time with the Tractor Boys, the forward made his senior debut in November 2019, appearing as a second half substitute against Colchester United in an EFL Trophy group stage fixture, in the process, he became the second youngest player to feature for Ipswich, behind Connor Wickham, aged just 16 years and 31 days old.
In July 2020, Chirewa signed a two-year scholarship at Portman Road and was then rewarded with a first professional contract four months later.
However, a move to Wolves arrived in the summer of 2023, which saw Chirewa score four times in his first five Premier League 2 outings in gold and black. The form promoted head coach Gary O'Neil to bring him down to train with the first-team squad.
The 20-year-old enjoyed a breakout season during 2023/24. The forward made his senior bow in the January due to Hee Chan Hwang’s absence at the Asia Cup, featuring off the bench in the Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Chirewa would go on to feature in the top flight matches against Newcastle United, Aston Villa, West Ham United and Nottingham Forest, before earning his full debut at home against Arsenal.

Despite being born and raised in Chelmsford, Tawanda Chirewa represents Zimbabwe on the international stage, having received his first call-up in March 2024.
However, Chirewa didn’t make his first appearance for the country until later that summer, starting a 2026 World Cup qualifier away in Lesotho.
Just four days later, on 11th June 2024, Chirewa played the entire 90 minutes of Zimbabwe’s qualification loss to South Africa, but the winger scored his first international goal during a game in which he was praised as an exciting prospect for the future of African football.

Tawanda Chirewa believes his debut season in gold and black has been ‘decent’ having quickly progressed from the under-21s into a first-team squad regular having moved to Molineux last summer.
