The highly-rated Academy graduate has been at the club for twelve years and recently won the Wolves Academy Player of the Year award in 2018 on his way to the first-team.

Giles has since been honing his skills in the EFL with spells at Shrewsbury Town and Coventry City in League One, before rejoining the Sky Blues following their promotion to the Championship.

“I’m delighted to sign a new deal with Wolves because it’s such a big club,” he said. “For the club to show their commitment towards me is a massive boost," said the wing-back.

“I’ve come right the way through the Academy and it’s a massive honour to sign and commit to the club. All I’ve ever wanted to do from a young boy is to play for the first-team at Wolves.

“I thank Wolves and all the staff for the opportunities they have given me, but now, I want to kick on and hope the future brings good things going forward.”

The 20-year-old is hoping regular football will help him become a regular member of Nuno's squad in the upcoming years.

“I’ve played against the likes of Watford, Bournemouth and Norwich, all teams who were in the Premier League last season,” Giles added. “I’ve had some really good tests against Premier League players, so it’s been a really good season for me.

“But my goal is quite simple really – to play for Wolves in the Premier League. As a player who has come through the ranks here, it would mean everything for me to play for my boyhood club at the highest level."
