Fans of Wolverhampton Wanderers appear delighted with the signing of Ben Marshall from Championship rivals Blackburn Rovers.
In the midst of an encouraging Championship victory over Barnsley, and following weeks of association, it was the closing stages of the January transfer window that finally saw Wolverhampton Wanderers secure the signing of Blackburn Rovers’ Ben Marshall.
The 25-year-old midfielder, who can also play as a full-back, has joined the Molineux club on a three-and-a-half year deal, for what is believed to be an undisclosed fee.

The transfer sees Marshall, the maker of 140 appearances for Blackburn during his three-and-a-half seasons at Ewood Park, reunited with former Rovers manager Paul Lambert who, after a successful January, can be very pleased with the outcome of his club’s transfer window.
Indeed, Wolves supporters have understandably expressed their pleasure at the permanent signing of the talismanic Helder Costa and the deadline day deal for Marshall, while affirming their belief in manager Lambert in the process.
Furthermore, the recent fortunes of the Wanderers on the pitch have clearly been a source of joy for fans of Lambert’s side – with FA Cup successes over Premier League Stoke City and Liverpool around crucial Championship matches against Aston Villa and tonight’s opponents Barnsley.
