Wolverhampton Wanderers centre-back Ryan Bennett has signed a new contract with the Premier League outfit, that promises to keep him at Molineux until 2021.

The former England Under-21 international arrived at The Wanderers at the same time as the appointment of manager Nuno Espirito Santo, and the defender has gone on to become one of the Portuguese’s first-choice players.

The 28-year-old defender appeared on 33 occasions in the Championship last season, while 16 appearances have been made in the Premier League so far this term.

We are delighted to announce that Ryan Bennett has signed a new deal with Wolves that will keep him at the club until 2021.

Congratulations, Ryan!

Wolves are likely to spend more on new signings over the next two windows, but the centre-back has committed his long-term future to the club until 2021 on improved terms.

Bennett previously represented Norwich City, but he was allowed to leave Carrow Road on a free transfer.
