The 29-year-old has been on the bench for most of the season but is willing to wait for his chance.

He said: "Since I've been here it's been a bit frustrating, but the team has done well so I've had to bide my time.

"But, whenever I'm called upon, I'm happy to do whatever the manager asks of me. I enjoyed the weekend and it was nice to help the team to three points."

Clarke's goal was only his second in 21 appearances since his return to Molineux in January.

He said: "It was a nice feeling and it felt like it was long overdue – it was great to get the winning goal but the most important thing was to get the three points for the team.

"Maybe Leeds aren't as strong as they used to be but they made it really difficult for us at times in the first-half, when they played a diamond formation in midfield.

"But, in the second-half, I felt we stepped it up and our passing was a lot better through the gaps in the midfield and defence and it helped us get the right result in the end."
