Meritan Shabani extends deal with Wolves while Niall Ennis departs
Meritan Shabani has signed a new Wolves contract until 2023 – while fellow youngster Niall Ennis has completed a permanent move to Plymouth.
Attacking midfielder Shabani, who arrived from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2019, has been given fresh terms after being in and around the first-team squad this season.
He made his senior debut against Reading in the Carabao Cup last term but suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the game.
Centre forward Ennis, meanwhile, joins League One outfit Plymouth after 13 years on Wolves' books. He made one first-team appearance against Shrewsbury in the FA Cup.
On Shabani, technical director Scott Sellars said: "Meritan’s a player with a lot of potential, he’s on the first-team bench at the moment, and we believe he is a player who should be rewarded for his attitude and commitment.
“We know how he unfortunately got his cruciate injury when he made his first-team debut last year, but through his rehabilitation period, his attitude has been fantastic.
“In his performances for the under-23s since he returned from injury, he has really started settling back into the Meritan we all know.
“We knew it would take time for him to return to those levels, as it is for anybody who is coming back from a long-term injury, but his performances towards the end of last year, against West Brom and Norwich in particular, were exactly what we expect from him and were the reason for us bringing him to the club.
“But now, it’s a big period for him. He’s got the chance to play for the under-23s as well as train and be on the bench for the first-team squad, so there will be lots of opportunities for Meritan to continue to develop as a player.”
