Signed for just £175,000 from Ipswich last summer, the 20-year-old enjoyed his breakthrough at Wolves last season.

The attacking midfielder made 10 senior appearances, including eight in the Premier League, before heading off to Spain and America with Wolves on pre-season this summer.

Chirewa was not included in the squad's for the first two games of the season and will now leave for minutes and more experience in the Championship, having now extended his Wolves contract until 2028.

Head of professional football development Matt Jackson said: “Tawanda’s made great progress since he's joined us from Ipswich, being a part of that first team group. He’s grown up quickly and matured to have the quality to cope there, and now we’ll see if he can affect league football.
