Wolves transfer news: Jonny signs new deal until 2025

Wolves welcomed back Jonny on Sunday for the 0-0 draw against Leicester in what was his first appearance since a cruciate ligament injury sustained in August at the end of last season; Wolves face back to back games against Southampton in the FA Cup and Premier League respectively

Wolves defender Jonny has signed a new deal until 2025.

The 26-year-old Spaniard has been with the club since the summer of 2018, initially on loan from Atletico Madrid before making it a permanent deal in January 2019.

Having registered 87 appearances across the last two campaigns, he then made his first of 2020-21 in Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Leicester as he returned after a knee injury.

“I am very happy to give everything back to the pack,” Jonny said in a video posted on Wolves’ Twitter account. “To the doctors, staff, my team-mates, family, friends and to all of you, the supporters.

“Thank you very much. The hard work continues. And now I am pleased to announce that it will continue for longer.

“I want to thank all of you, because you are part of this. I am very happy here, I feel at home. Thank you especially for all the messages you sent me during my injury.

Jonny, who has scored three goals for Wolves, won the first of his three senior Spain caps in October 2018.

He made a brilliant double-block to deny James Maddison as Wolves claimed a point against Leicester on Sunday.

“Yes [it was a good defensive performance] and with a lot of players out,” Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo said after the game. “Jonny gave a big hand, coming back from injury.”

“I hope we will see each other soon. We are a pack!”
