The 33-year-old defender is currently a free agent after his contract at Norwich expired and he is searching for a new club.

Batth has been training with Wolves' under-21s for the past week to keep his fitness up as he talks to clubs over a contract.

It is also understood that any shock return to sign for Wolves is not on the cards as it stands.

Born in Brierley Hill, Batth joined Wolves at the age of 10 before making his senior debut in 2010.

He had loan spells at Colchester United, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday before making his mark at Wolves.

Batth lifted the Championship trophy alongside Conor Coady in 2018 as the club were promoted back to the Premier League under Nuno Espirito Santo.

The defender then left for Middlesbrough on loan for the first half of the following season before making a permanent switch to Stoke City in January 2019 for £4million.

He went on to play for Sunderland and Norwich and is now available on a free transfer.

Batth made 212 appearances for Wolves, many of them as club captain.
