Wolverhampton Wanderers wrapped up promotion to the Premier League in April.

John Ruddy of Wolves celebrates his sides first goal during the Sky Bet Championship match between Millwall and Wolverhampton at The Den on December 26, 2017 in London, England.

Wolves ace John Ruddy sat down for an exclusive interview with the Express & Star, and shared the strange sensation of playing the last few games knowing that they had promotion to the Premier League already wrapped up.

The Wolves squad is so strong that many fans and pundits believe that they can enjoy a successful Premier League campaign without the need to strengthen this summer.

“It was a strange feeling coming into the last couple of games but we’ve been professional in the way we’ve prepared and focused on making sure we can get the best outcome possible.”

Nuno’s men finish their Championship campaign with a trip to the Stadium of Light to take on already relegated Sunderland on Sunday, and they only need a draw to eclipse the 100 point mark for the season.
