Wolves Academy have linked up with Boldmere St Michaels in another exciting two-way partnership.
Boldmere are located within the Birmingham area and create pathways for players and young coaches to achieve their ambition.
The club has a strong pool of over 50 teams, starting all the way down from the age of four and up to first-team level.
Former Wolves captain Karl Henry is head coach of Boldmere St Michaels Juniors and was a key figure when it came to connecting the two clubs.
Jack Maydew, academy recruitment officer, said: “Karl has played a massive role in making this partnership happen, along with Ray Gardner and members of the Boldmere board – we are extremely proud to partner with a fantastic club.
“There has been a lot of hard work behind-the-scenes to make this partnership happen in recent months.”
Ray Gardner, vice-chairman of the junior section at Boldmere St Michaels, added: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Wolves.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for both clubs and a very exciting time for Boldmere St Michaels. Our junior section has seen huge growth over the last six years, and we now have 57 junior boys and girls teams representing us from age six to 18.
“Last season saw our first team secure promotion to step four, and our women’s team promoted to tier three. Both teams are eagerly anticipating new challenges and as a club we are both proud and optimistic for the future as we approach our 140-year anniversary in 2023.”
