Where are they now: Wolves’ League One promotion goals trio | OneFootball

Fourteen years after Wolves’ Premier League relegation and subsequent slide to League One, the club’s revival owed much to a prolific trio. ExpressAndStar.com recounts where Bakary Sako, Nouha Dicko and Leigh Griffiths ended up.

Sako joined from Saint-Étienne for £2.2m, scored nine in a doomed first season, then 12 as Wolves won League One and 15 the year after. Out of contract he moved to Crystal Palace, his 38 Wolves goals placing him 29th all time.

He later had a short West Brom stint and a Palace return, then spells in Cyprus and Greece before rejoining Saint-Étienne. After FC 93 he signed for LB Châteauroux in 2025, still playing at 37.

Dicko arrived on loan, then for £300,000 and struck 13 league goals in the promotion campaign. A year out injured stalled him and he left for Hull City in 2017, later playing in Türkiye, Greece and for Paris FC. Now 33, he is in Saudi Arabia with Al Bataeh, signed in February.

Griffiths, a £150,000 recruit in 2011, scored 12 in that League One season after prolific Hibernian loans prompted a 2013 extension. He departed in January for Celtic, where he netted 123 in 261, then moved to Falkirk. In 2022 he joined Mandurah City, became a player-coach at Stirling Macedonia in 2025, and told the Scottish Sun last month he had not ruled out a return to Scotland.
