Wolves Appoint Rob Edwards on Three-and-a-Half-Year Deal After Prising Him From Middlesbrough

The former Wolves defender returns with a mandate to reset the club’s culture during a winless start.

Overview

  • Wolves confirmed Edwards on a contract running to 2029, replacing Vítor Pereira after a winless opening 11 league games.
  • Middlesbrough initially rejected Wolves’ approach before granting permission, with compensation reported at about £3 million, and stood Edwards down from match duties during talks.
  • Assistant head coach Harry Watling has joined Edwards from Middlesbrough, with further backroom appointments expected.
  • Wolves sit bottom of the Premier League on two points from 11 matches, eight points from safety after nine defeats.
  • Edwards’ first game is set for November 22 at Molineux against Crystal Palace; he returns having made 111 Wolves appearances and with promotions on his CV at Forest Green and Luton.
