Former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Kenny Jackett is back in work at Championship strugglers Rotherham United.

With his Millers side cut adrift at the bottom of the table, Jackett is bound to want to add to his ranks as soon as possible.

However, with only the free agent market open at present, the 54-year-old may have to wait until January before taking action.

Could these three Wolves players feature on his list of targets?

Jack Price

A Molineux fan favourite, Price has fallen behind new signings Romain Saiss and Prince Oniangue in recent weeks and could be keen to secure regular game time come the new year. Jackett was the one who blooded the Wolves academy product initially during the club’s fleeting visit to League One and may be keen to oblige.

Jordan Graham

Signed by Jackett last summer and almost immediately loaned to Oxford United, Graham returned to Wolves a world-beater only to be cruelly struck down by injury. The left winger is scheduled to return later this year, but with Helder Costa and Ola John for company, he may have to build up his match practice elsewhere.

Mike Williamson

The Championship’s worst defenders so far, conceding around two-and-a-half goals per game, Rotherham could do with a player of Williamson’s experience at the back. With Wolves spoilt for choice in his position, the Jackett signing could find himself loaned out in the January window – although much will depend on how quickly he recovers from the injury which has kept him out for the past 10 months.
