Dominic Iorfa has hopes of Wolves future
Defender Dominic Iorfa has backed his parent club Wolves to win promotion this season – and hopes to be part of Nuno Espirito Santo's squad if they do.
Iorfa is on loan for the season with Wolves' opponents on Saturday, Ipswich Town.
The 22-year-old has played 22 times for Mick McCarthy's Tractor Boys although of course will have to sit out this weekend's game as part of his loan agreement.
He's seen plenty of Wolves this season and is confident they will be in the Premier League in 2018/19, where he would love to join them.
“They are having a great season and from what I’ve seen from them they should get promoted, really,” Iorfa told the East Anglian Daily Times.
“I have no idea (what the future holds) because if they get promoted I can see them spending again so hopefully I can do as well as I can with the loan to be in their thinking and we’ll see what happens at the end of the season.
“They are clear at the top and they are going up so you would like to think that kind of team is only going to be strengthened again but we’ll see. I’m optimistic and hopefully I will do as well as I can.
“I’m still contracted to Wolves and I still have an eye on them too, so until they say they don’t want me I have hopes of being in their plans.
“When the season is done I’ll sit down with them and see what happens in the summer. My focus is on Ipswich and we have a play-off push so my mind is fully on that.”
Wolves do have an option of recalling Iorfa this month but it appears Jordan Graham has taken that spot in the squad with Wolves keen to have enough cover for wing back Matt Doherty.
If he has no future at Molineux then a permanent move to Ipswich would appeal.
Iorfa added: "If the option came up then yes because I’m enjoying my football here.
“I get along with the staff and with the players so we’ll see what happens.
“The gaffer has given me game time, which is crucial first and foremost, which after the second half of last season is what I wanted.
“I think he (McCarthy) has improved me as well and tactically he’s made me a bit more aware, although I still need to work hard on my defensive side. I think I’m still improving in that aspect and I think that’s down to him as well.
“I’ve had opportunities where I feel like I could have scored more so I need to add that to my game as well.”
