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 70 years and Wolves are back amongst football's elite. In the past six years we have
celebrated promotion to the Premier League, back-to-back 7th placed finishes and a Europa League
quarter-final campaign. Now, we will be competing in the Premier League for a sixth successive
season.

But at Wolves it is all about what we will do, not what we have done. We don't simply look to the
future, we seize it.**
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.
