Midfielder Karl Henry has signed a new contract with Wolves which will keep him at Molineux until the summer of 2011.

Henry signed for Wolves at the beginning of last season from Stoke City for £100,000, but he missed the latter part of the 2006-07 campaign due to a life-threatening spleen injury he sustained in March.

He recovered and spent the summer regaining his fitness for the current season, where his form has seen him awarded with a contract extension.

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy told the club's official website "It's great news for him and the club.

"He was due to get a new deal at the end of last season then got a nasty knock and had to earn it again."

Henry has been ever-present in McCarthy's side since his return to the first team in mid-August.
