Wolves lock up former Newcastle full‑back Kieran Trippier on a two‑year deal with a third‑year option. The 35‑year‑old, a free agent after four seasons in the Premier League, will join the newly‑relegated side once his medical clears next week and will report to the training ground by mid‑August.

Wolves outbid a host of European clubs to secure Trippier, who logged 160 appearances for Newcastle and helped lift the Carabao Cup in 2023. Manager Rob Edwards sees the former England international as a leader who can restore the club to the Premier League swiftly.

Trippier, who joined Newcastle from Atletico Madrid in January 2022, announced his exit in early April. Former manager Eddie Howe praised his journey from a Spanish title‑winning side to a Premier League struggler, noting Trippier’s vital role in Newcastle’s Champions League run and the 2023 cup triumph.

With the Championship contract finalized, Wolves aim to harness Trippier’s experience to climb back to the top flight. The signing signals the club’s intent to compete aggressively in the 2024–25 season, offering fans a clear pathway to Premier League promotion.
