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

Fourteen years on from their last Premier League relegation, Wolves’ League One title win owed much to a three-man strikeforce. ExpressAndStar.com charts where Bakary Sako, Nouha Dicko and Leigh Griffiths are now.

Sako arrived from Saint-Étienne for £2.2m, scoring nine as Wolves fell again, then hit 12 to win League One and go up before adding 15 and leaving out of contract for Crystal Palace. He later had a short spell at rivals West Brom and returned to Palace, with further stints in Cyprus and Greece. After a comeback at Saint-Étienne he moved to LB Châteauroux last year, and the 37-year-old still plays, ranking 29th with 38 Wolves goals.

Dicko first arrived on loan, then signed for £300,000 and struck 13 league goals as Wolves went up. Injury sidelined him for over 12 months and his scoring faded, prompting a 2017 switch to Hull City and later moves to Türkiye, Greece and Paris FC. Now 33, he is in Saudi Arabia after signing in February for Pro League side Al Bataeh, and he sits 32nd on the all-time list with 35.

Griffiths, a £150,000 recruit in 2011, barely featured for Wolves but hit 33 in 61 on loan at Hibernian. Wolves extended his deal in 2013, he scored 12 in the promotion charge, then left in January for Celtic.

He scored 123 in 261 for Celtic before a spell at Falkirk. In 2022 he joined semi-professional Mandurah City in Australia, then moved to Stirling Macedonia in 2025 as a player-coach. He told the Scottish Sun last month he had not ruled out a return to Scotland.
