Queens Park Rangers midfielder is told he doesn’t have a future at the club, and he could be the ideal signing for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Birmingham Mail are reporting that Karl Henry has been banished from first-team training, after a fall-out with Ian Holloway, and told that he does not have a future at QPR.

The 34-year-old could be the ideal January signing for former club Woves, and would inject a much needed level of aggression and fighting spirit into their midfield.

Paul Lambert’s men have begun to show what they are capable of in recent weeks, but they still look worryingly short when it comes to their defensive record.

Having Henry in the side, sitting just in front of the back four would help stabilise the Wolves side, and allow their more attack minded players to flourish even further still.

Henry spent seven years at Molineux, before making the move to Loftus Road in 2013.

And despite a love-hate relationship with Wolves fans, something that cannot be argued was his commitment to the club, along with his die-for-the-cause mentality.

The Championship is one of the hardest leagues in the world, and having someone like Henry amongst the squad would put Wolves in a far stronger position to make a push for the promotion spots during the second half of the season.

His contract at Loftus Road is due to expire this summer, so the Black Country outfit would be able to sign him for a minimal fee, especially with him reportedly being so out of favour at QPR.

Signing him on a short-term deal would represent little risk for Wolves, but what he could potentially bring to the club may well prove to be a huge gain, should a move come to fruition.
