Midfielder Connor Ronan has revealed that his target for the remainder of the season is to earn a starting role in the first team at Molineux.

Last weekend, Ronan made his senior debut for Wolves after coming off the bench against Nottingham Forest, and he has now been handed a new two-and-a-half year deal by the club.

After his double joy over the last seven days, Ronan has said that he will continue to work hard in order to become a permanent fixture in Paul Lambert's squad.

The 18-year-old told the club's official website: "It feels good to have signed the contract. I have been working towards getting a new one for a while.

"I came in this season with the mentality that I needed to work hard and impress if I was to earn a new contract. I am pleased with how I have done so far and pleased to have earned the contract.

"This season it was about trying to earn a new contract and maybe get a first team appearance, and now they have both come as well. So I now have to go again and aim to get a start for the first team between now and the end of the season."

Ronan will hope to be involved when Wolves host Bristol City on Boxing Day.
