Wolves striker bags Golden Boot

The Molineux hot-shot claimed 25 goals this term to help fire Wolves into the top-flight, narrowly holding off the challenge of Jason Scotland (24) and Ross McCormack (23) after all competitions were brought into the equation. The 23-year-old was an even clearer winner when it came down to just league goals alone and, after being officially recognised on Thursday as the division's top goalscorer by the Football League, he was more than happy to add the achievement to his already impressive CV. He told Wolves' official website: "I'm delighted to win the golden boot for the second year in succession. As the end of the season got closer it certainly became one of the targets I was aiming for and I finished up scoring four more league goals than anyone else which was a nice margin. "It was a season to remember for me and the team and I was delighted with my tally of goals. It was always going to be more difficult in a second season having won the golden boot the year before, so I had to make sure I worked a lot harder. "Over the season I think I deserved to win it but at the same time I have to give credit to the rest of the lads. It's always about the team and not the individual and without them working hard and setting up chances, obviously I wouldn't have ended up with the goals that I did."
