CONFIRMED : Bentley’s signs new Wolves contract after Wolves defender heads to Switzerland in latest loan switch

The seasoned goalkeeper has made ten appearances in Premier League and cup competitions after being one of

several significant additions to the West Midlands during the January 2023 transfer window.

Bentley has established himself as a dependable starter for Wolves. In five appearances, he has kept five clean sheets,

including two shutouts at Molineux against Burnley, which helped the team earn three points in the

Premier League the previous season and advance to the third round of the current Carabao Cup competition last month.

The former Bristol City captain, who is a loud organizer on the field, has also had a significant impact in the

locker room during his tenure at Old Gold, serving as a member of the senior leadership group behind the scenes at

Sporting director Matt Hobbs said offering Bentley a new contract – with his previous deal due to

expire at the end of this season – was always in the pipeline.

“Everyone is aware of the interest for Dan in the summer, but he has always wanted to stay here,” Hobbs said.

“There was going to be an inevitability behind this deal even before the interest came, but we just felt it

was the right thing for us to do – to show him we have the same faith in him than another club would.

“It’s a new deal for him, and with it, he and his family know that they’re settled for the future and he knows

he’s appreciated by the football club because he plays an important role for us, both on and off the pitch.

“He is one of those characters you can rely on and has a huge amount of league experience. Obviously,

he’s not as experienced in the Premier League, but he’s able to step in and produce when he’s called upon.

That mentality he offers is really important

“From what Gary wants from our players and driving the culture in the dressing room, Dan is a big part of that.

It’s not just the staff but all the lads feel really supported by him.

“When someone has come in and done well for us, trains well, fits in really well, is a leader off the pitch, is great for the culture and for standards inside the dressing room, and – crucially – is homegrown, then it’s a decision we were always going to make.”
