Wolves announce new contracts for Ebanks-Landell and Iorfa

Ebanks-Landell, 22, and Iorfa, 19, have signed new deals until the summer of 2017, with a further year's option in the club's favour.

Both defenders are graduates of Wolves' academy and have enjoyed their first sustained spells in the first team this season.

Ebanks-Landell has been further rewarded for his progress after only signing a two-year deal in March, while recent England Under-20s cap Iorfa was into the final 12 months of his contract, although the club held a year's option.

Head coach Kenny Jackett said: "It's good news for the club and they are both good young players.

"Ethan had some games last season and then had his first run at centre-back earlier in the season when he did very well before picking up a hamstring injury.

"Dominic has come into the side in recent weeks for his debut and has also done very well.

"It wasn't necessarily an easy time to come into the team but they have shown some good promise for the future.

"They have power, athleticism and composure on the ball and you need all of that in this division.

"Young players here know if they do well there is the chance to win first-team places and new contracts.

"Jack Price has come back from a loan spell and gone back into the team and done well and it's all about building a career.

"It's very unusual for young players to go into the team and stay there and they can dip in and out and build up towards being top class performers, which is what we want."

Head of football development Kevin Thelwell said: "It's fantastic news to have the two lads tied down to long term deals.

"Ethan has been with us a long time and after a breakthrough season last time out has gone on and continued his progress and proved he can play in the Championship.

"He is going to be a big player for us both now and in the future.

"With Dominic, he may have come in earlier than perhaps was anticipated but we all recognised the potential he has.

"We're delighted with the way he's gone into the first team and the way he's handled it.

"We talk about having 'best players' and 'best people' and these lads are both top players and top people.

"And that's in terms of personality, mentality and professionalism.

"We couldn't have asked any more of two academy graduates who have gone into the first team and shown they can handle it not only as players but also as people.

"It hasn't altered them in any way, shape or form and they're both committed to improving and having a great career with us."
