Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is determined to retain the number one jersey at Wolves for the entire campaign this season.[LNB] The Wales international reclaimed the gloves from the recently departed Marcus Hahnemann last November, going on to notch up 24 Premier League appearances for the Midlanders.[LNB]The exit of Hahnemann has prompted Wolves to sign Dutch keeper Dorus De Vries this summer, while reserve shot-stopper Carl Ikeme is fully fit following a string of injuries.[LNB]Manager Mick McCarthy has already indicated he wants the trio to compete for the first-choice spot ahead of the new season.[LNB]But 24-year-old Hennessy has no intention of relinquishing the number one role, telling Wolves' official website: "I felt really good last season.[LNB]"When I did get into the team I thought I did well and hopefully I can continue like that.[LNB]"I managed to play 24 league games which was good and my aim now is to try and play for a whole season.[LNB]"We all set ourselves targets as players and try and reach them and it's all about trying to improve all the time. [LNB]"I still think I have more to come and it's just good to be back and looking forward to another season." [LNB]Wolves are set for their third successive campaign in the top-flight and Hennessy hopes they can improve on last season.[LNB]"We got more points last season than the one before and I think that gives us something to aim for again," he said.[LNB]"To try and get more points than we did last season.[LNB]"There are never any easy games in this league but it's a great league to be part of.[LNB]"It is going to be difficult but it's a challenge we are all looking forward to."
