Wolves have announced the signing of Kieran Trippier on a two-year deal.

The right-back joins as a free agent after four-and-a-half seasons with Newcastle United, during which the Magpies won the EFL Cup.

The 35-year-old is Wolves’ first signing since being relegated to the Championship, with Rob Edwards’ side aiming to achieve promotion back to the Premier League in 2026-27.

Trippier has previous experience in the Championship, making 174 appearances while representing Barnsley and Burnley across a five-year period.

He achieved promotion with the Clarets in 2013-14, finishing the league campaign with 14 assists in 41 matches.

“I’m so happy to bring him here,” Edwards said. “When we met, it was evident that he really wants to come to Wolves.

“We know what we’ve lacked this year, and we know what we need next year – experience, leadership, resilient characters and strong characters – that’s what we’re going to need in abundance, and Tripps ticks every box.

“From quality to experience to leadership to know how, and he also has a real hunger. He wants to help us get promoted again, and this is really something for us to achieve.”

Wolves have also been heavily linked with former striker Raul Jimenez, who was released from Fulham on Monday.
