Higgs elated after Wolves move

New Wolves goalkeeper Shane Higgs admits he is in dreamland after swapping Morecambe for the Championship's biggest game.

The 31-year-old loan shotstopper was due to understudy former Wolves academy shotstopper Scott Brown for Cheltenham.

That was before he got the call from Molineux, to be in the squad for the first versus second collision against Birmingham.

Higgs said: "It's a bit of a dream to come to a club like this. It's amazing. I could have been on my way to Morecambe watching a game. But instead I might be on the bench, in one of the biggest games of a Championship season."

"I have got a fair bit of experience and have played on some big grounds, so if I am called on, I will be ready."

Higgs, who is out of contract at the end of the season, also blasted reports that he would cost £100,000 in the January transfer window.

The goalkeeper said: "The Cheltenham manager (Martin Allen) told me because Scott Brown is playing, he was happy for me to go on loan and then possibly a free in January."

Higgs previously worked with Wolves goalkeeping coach Pat Mountain at Cheltenham.

The loan signing added: "I had a very good relationship with Pat and I am looking forward to working with him again."
