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

Fourteen years on from their last Premier League relegation, Wolves slid to League One then bounced straight back. That revival owed much to a trio who shared the goals.

ExpressAndStar.com notes Bakary Sako, Nouha Dicko and Leigh Griffiths underpinned the 2013-14 title win restoring Championship status.

Sako cost £2.2m from Saint-Étienne after the first drop. He scored nine league goals as Wolves went down again, then hit 12 in League One and 15 the next season before leaving out of contract for Crystal Palace. After West Brom, a Palace return, moves to Cyprus and Greece and a Saint-Étienne comeback, he joined LB Châteauroux in 2025 and remains there at 37.

Dicko arrived on loan during the Championship relegation, then signed for £300,000 and struck 13 league goals in 2013-14 for promotion. Injuries kept him out for over 12 months and his scoring waned over the next three years. He moved to Hull City in 2017, later playing in Türkiye, Greece and for Paris FC, and at 33 plays in Saudi Arabia after joining Pro League Al Bataeh in February.

Griffiths, a £150,000 signing in 2011, barely featured across two Premier League seasons and one in the Championship, instead scoring 33 in 61 on loan at Hibernian. With his deal extended in 2013, he netted 12 in League One but left in January for Celtic, where he hit 123 in 261. He later played for Falkirk, moved to semi-pro Mandurah City in 2022, then joined Stirling Macedonia in 2025 as player-coach.
