Wolves have signed John Ruddy from Norwich City.
Veteran goalkeeper John Ruddy clinched a move to leave Norwich City to join Wolves, with BBC Sport reporting he has signed a two-year deal.
Ruddy, 30, had been at Norwich since 2010 and had even earned a call up to the England squad.

While Norwich finished above Wolves in the Championship table last year by 12 points and seven places, Ruddy’s desire for a new challenge led him to seek a move.
BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey is a Norwich fan and neighbour of Ruddy, and told his Twitter followers that the goalkeeper was swayed by Wolves’ ambition.
Wolves are hoping to push for promotion this season and like Norwich they have appointed a new manager this summer.
Ruddy is a solid signing and replaces Carl Ikeme, who has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia.
The goalkeeper was linked with joining Sunderland prior to Wolves entering the race, and he is unlikely to be the last arrival at Molineux before the transfer window closes.
