Winger Jordan Graham is itching for another chance in the Wolves first team tomorrow.

The 20-year-old made his debut in last weekend's 2-2 draw at Ipswich and gave an excellent performance, with his corner setting up James Henry's first half goal.

And now Graham wants to prove to be the answer to Wolves' left wing conundrum, with eight players tried in that position this season.

"I want more now, 100 per cent, I think everyone would," he said.

"I just have to take it in my stride, work hard in training and not rest on my laurels. It's the same again for me – hard work and see where I go."

A productive loan spell at Oxford opened the door for Graham, who will look to follow in the footsteps of regular first-teamers Dominic Iorfa, Jack Price and Kortney Hause who went out on loan and came back to cement their places at Wolves.

"I had a really successful loan spell, it really helped me and my all round game," he said. "It was a great loan for me, I feel I really matured as a person and a player.

"I live with Kortney and he went to Gillingham and came back and started playing. He said 'go out to Oxford and do your stuff'.

"I knew if I carried on training and working hard I'd always get my chance, I was always prepared and ready."

How did Graham learn he would be included at Portman Road?

"On Monday the gaffer pulled me to one side and said 'I'm thinking of giving you a go on Saturday how do you feel', I said 'I think I'm ready'," Graham said. "And then on Friday I knew I was playing.

"I haven't come off the bench before so it was a weird one for me, but I was always ready because in football you never know what's going to happen.

"It was amazing."
