Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has spoken highly of Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Conor Coady to Sky Sports.

The former Liverpool and England international defender believes that Coady is a manager’s dream.

Carragher has praised the attitude and character of the 25-year-old former Liverpool defender, who joined Wolves from Huddersfield Town in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £2 million.

“He is the one of the nicest lads you could meet and he has a great attitude,” Carragher told Sky Sports about Coady.

“Forget football ability for one moment, if you have got those two things that gives you a great chance of going far in the game. The only way you can describe him is that he’s a manager’s dream.”

Important player

Coady may have failed to make an impact at Liverpool, but the English defender has established himself as an important player for Wolves.

The former England Under-20 international has played in all of Wolves’ 12 Premier League matches so far this season.

The 25-year-old was one of the best defenders in the Championship last season, and the former Liverpool man does not appear to have any problem in succeeding in the top flight of English football.

Wolves will return to action on Sunday afternoon when they take on Huddersfield Town at the Molineux Stadium in the Championship.
