Where are they now? Wolves’ 2017/18 promotion winners | OneFootball

Few EFL teams matched the dominance of Nuno Espírito Santo’s 2017/18 Wolves, whose flair and consistency powered promotion. Nearly a decade on, with Wolves set for a Championship return next season, here is where that squad dispersed.

Matt Doherty left for Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid, then returned to Molineux. Conor Coady moved on via Everton, Leicester and Wrexham to Charlton Athletic, while Willy Boly remains at Nottingham Forest but has not played league minutes this season.

Ruben Neves became a modern Wolves great before joining Al-Hilal in 2023. Romain Saiss went to Besiktas then Al Sadd, Alfred N’Diaye retired in 2024, and Jack Price is now with Brackley Town. Morgan Gibbs-White is an England international and will likely captain Nottingham Forest in the Europa League semi-finals against Aston Villa.

Diogo Jota dazzled for Wolves and Liverpool, winning major silverware, then in 2025, aged 28, he was tragically killed in a car crash alongside his brother Andre Silva. Helder Costa is an Angola international and currently clubless after a 2025 spell in China, and Ivan Cavaleiro plays for FC Zurich. Rafa Mir is on loan at Elche and under investigation for separate alleged sexual assault and racism offences.
