Dan McNamara delighted as Wolves Women achieve promotion at last
Wolves Women boss Dan McNamara is 'overwhelmed' after they were finally awarded promotion to the third tier.
McNamara's side had been the runaway leaders in the National League Division One Midlands for each of the last two seasons – only to be denied after both were cut short by Covid-19.
However, an application for upward movement has proved successful based on their results on the pitch, and they will compete in the National League Northern Premier next term.
And McNamara said: "Overwhelmed was the initial feeling because the last couple of seasons won’t go without recognition. I’m absolutely delighted, particularly that it’s come down to the on-field performances.
“The girls have shown the last couple of years that they’re ready for a new test and a new challenge in the third tier.
"It’s thoroughly deserved, and nobody can take it away from them, even if they haven’t got a medal to show for it.”
Wolves recently impressed against higher-ranked sides in the Women's FA Cup, but McNamara is refusing to get carried away yet.
He added: "Competing and staying in that league in that first season would be a success.”
