Foley completes Wolves move

The right-back is set to make his Molineux bow tomorrow against Bradford after finalising his £750,000 transfer from Luton late last night.

And the 22-year-old revealed he has high hopes for McCarthy's young guns.

"There is a young squad here and they seem to be building for the future and I just can't wait to be a part of that," Foley said.

"The chance to work with the manager was a big thing too.

"He's been there, done it all and has got the experience too. He has developed players and hopefully he will with me."

McCarthy confirmed Foley will make his debut tomorrow after training with his new team-mates for the first time today at Compton.

"Kevin gives us that bit more competition for places," said the Wolves manager.

"Neill Collins got into the game on Saturday and did really well, but Mark Little has an ankle injury which is giving us a bit of cause for concern.

"He has played around 30 games in the last four seasons but he is only 22 so he is somebody who is consistent in that right-back position and is good with the ball too.

"He is somebody who will only get better and hopefully he'll improve with us."

Foley's signing takes the number of Irish players in the squad to nine but McCarthy makes no apologies for filling his team with his compatriots.

"It did prick my conscience a little bit when I signed, but there is no reason why it should," he said.

"Sometimes I am a bit conscious of the fact that we have a lot of Irish players in the squad.

"But I look at them all and think 'Would I want to get shut of any of them?'

"We have Breeny, Elliott, Keogh, Ward and Potter and there is nothing in it other than they are all good players who put a good shift in when they play."
