Nathan Fraser
Nathan Fraser was promoted to the Wolves first-team squad in September 2023, having been rewarded for his hard work and outstanding performances as he progressed through the club's academy.
The striker tirelessly led the line for the under-21s throughout the 2022/23 season having first signed for Wolves as a seven-year-old. He was first spotted playing for local grassroots club Trysull Tigers as a young child and rose through the academy ranks at Compton Park.
Fraser signed his first professional contract with the Old Gold in February 2022 and played a key role for the under-18s, scoring goals in both the league and also FA Youth Cup, which saw Wolves reach the semi-finals of the competition.
After getting his taste of under-21s action in the 2021/22 season, Fraser permanently made the step up to James Collins’ side last term and scored seven goals as the youngsters secured their Premier League 2 status.
During the summer of 2023, Fraser scored four goals in four games as Wolves under-19s lifted the Premier League’s Next Generation Cup in India, collecting silverware from the post-season tournament to ensure the campaign ended on a high.
After training regularly with Gary O'Neil's first-team squad, and being a key part of the side during pre-season, Fraser was given his senior debut in August 2023, coming off the bench at Molineux to claim his first goal and an assist for the first-team in a 5-0 demolition of Blackpool in the Carabao Cup.
He added a second senior goal with his late equaliser in the FA Cup third round replay against Brentford at Molineux. Fraser headed to Belgium during the 2024/25 season to join Zulte Waregem on loan.
Despite being born and raised in Wolverhampton, Nathan Fraser has represented the Republic of Ireland on the international stage.
His first call up to the country’s under-19 side came in May 2022 where he made his debut from the start of a 3-0 friendly win away in Iceland.
The striker found the net for the under-19s for the first time in November 2022, in a 6-0 hammering of Gibraltar in the UEFA Euro U19 Championship qualifiers, with Fraser coming off the bench for the final 30 minutes to nod home Ireland’s fifth of the afternoon.
The latest episode of Wolves Express is available now, and listeners can hear from Jorgen Strand Larsen after his Premier League debut, as well as James Collins and Matt Jackson.
