Veteran Wolves stalwart Jody Craddock has penned a new one-year contract with the Premier League newcomers.

The 33-year-old has spent the last six seasons at Molineux, featuring in almost 200 matches for the club.

Craddock is delighted to have extended his stay with the club, saying: "I see this as probably one of the biggest achievements of my career. I'm nearly 34 and so to earn this contract is massive for me.

"I feel very happy with how I've done as a player in my career and pleased with what I've achieved but this is another great new challenge.

"I've had the privilege of playing in the Premier League twice before with Sunderland and with Wolves and am really looking forward to going back in there again.

"There have certainly been a couple of times when people might have wondered whether I'd still be involved at Wolves.

"A couple of seasons ago I went off to Stoke on loan and and then last year unfortunately I missed out for a long time through injury and then not getting back in the team.

"Both times I've come back though I've managed to win my place back which has been great. Obviously I don't know what's going to happen next season but I'm just happy to be here and fighting for a place.

"I know it's going to be tough for me again and I know there will be new defenders brought to the club but it's never been any different.

"It's the Premier League and it's a difficult challenge but I know what I'm signing up for."
