Injured Wolves defender George Elokobi has been handed a new two-year contract by the Championship leaders.
The Cameroonian was the first-choice left-back in August, but his season ended when he injured his left knee and was sent for reconstructive surgery on the cruciate ligament.
Yet the club have shown their trust in the 23-year-old by adding an extra 12 months on to his existing deal, tying him to the club until the summer of 2011.
"I'm happy here, I feel at home," he told the club's official website.
"I've got an exceptional manager and coaching staff and from the chairman all the way down to the tea lady at the club, everyone seems to like me - especially the fans.
"Now I can concentrate on getting the knee better and showing everybody what I can do."
