The Wolverhampton Wanderers ace has been superb all season long.

Wolves legend Steve Bull named Conor Coady as his stand-out player of the season, when writing a column for the Express & Star, predicting that the 25-year-old could go on to represent England at some point in the future.

Coady joined Wolves from Huddersfield Town in the summer of 2015, for a fee of just £2 million, and he has gone on to become a real fan favourite at Molieux.

He has reached new heights this season, however, following the arrival of Nuno Espirito Santo last summer.

The Portuguese converted the Liverpool academy graduate into a centre-back from his usual deep-lying midfield role, and it has proven to be an astute decision.

Bull, who scored a club record 306 goals for the Black Country outfit, raved about the quality of Coady, when writing his column for the Express & Star, and singled him out as Wolves’ stand-out performer of the season:

“Conor Coady has stood out for me this season and he could go a long way. He has the potential to play for England. I think he is a grounded lad. He has got his position and built up his confidence over the season. I think Coady will only get stronger and will have a good chance at getting called up to the national team.”

Whilst this summer’s World Cup will surely be too soon for Coady, Euro 2020 will be a more than achievable target for him if he continues to show the kind of form that he has displayed for Wolves this season.
