Wolves starlet eager to take his big chance
Nathan Fraser does not want to rest on his laurels after earning his first senior start for Wolves.
Injury issues in the final third meant Gary O’Neil handed the 19-year-old a chance from the off against Fulham on Saturday.
The academy graduate did well against strong centre-backs and played a part in Wolves’ second goal – which ended up being the winning moment. Now, Fraser is ready to add to his tally with more starts in Wolves colours.
“There’s a lot more pressure from the start, especially as a number nine,” Fraser said. “There’s a lot of pressure on you, but I think I did well. You want to come in and help the team, so it was important to get three points.
“It’s a bit surreal but I can’t sit and think about it, we have another game next week. Just one start doesn’t really mean much, I want to have a career in the Premier League and this is a good start, but I have to keep trying to improve.”
A number of clubs, including Shrewsbury Town, were keen to take the striker on loan in the summer and January.
But Wolves kept the forward with the senior team to add to their small squad.
