We are Wolves; progressive, determined, bright, unified and humble. A pack that is hungry for

success. Wolves is one of the fastest growing professional football clubs in the UK, and also boasts

one of the richest histories in the beautiful game.

Formed in 1877, Wolves was a founder member of the Football League, and was one of the

country’s most successful sides in the fifties and sixties. During a two decade spell the Black

Country’s most decorated side won three First Division titles and one of its four FA Cups.

Fast forward to the 2022/23 season, where three seasons at Molineux saw Wolves clinch the Sky Bet
Championship trophy with 99 points, followed by a seventh-place finish in the Premier League,
which included memorable wins over Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Arsenal.
The next season saw the team complete a memorable double over the reigning champions, equal
the previous season’s seventh place finish and reach the quarter finals of the Europa League all as
part of the ‘longest season’ in league history, either starting before or finishing after all other teams.

However, this post is about not what we have done, but what we will achieve next.

We take seriously our commitment to the safeguarding of children and adults at risk and to
ensuring that Wolves is free from discrimination and harassment.
