A developer has revealed plans to convert the former Sports Direct store in Queen Street, Wolverhampton, into a new 52-bed hotel and gym.

Sports Direct closed in 2021 following a move by the sportswear giant to a flagship store in the nearby Mander Centre.

The new hotel would create 12 jobs according to the application.
