Wolves allow their players to leave for free as post transfer window decision made with interest from Nottingham f0rest
Wolves have announced the departure of four of their players, despite the transfer window shutting last Friday (August 30).
Owen Hesketh, Kam Kandola, Ethan McLeod and Mason Rees, have all departed Molineux. The four players mainly featured for the under-21s team, and are now available on a free transfer.
Hesketh is one of the most high-profile players to leave, as he was named the Academy Player of the Season in 2021. He was among the substitute’s against Chelsea last December, and leaves having made 66 appearances for the under-21s team with 16 goals and six assists.
The 21-year-old had a short loan spell at Kidderminster Harriers last season, making four appearances. He is also a one-time Wales under-21 international, and made his debut for them in March 2023.
Defender Kandola meanwhile has seen a 13-year association with the club come to an end. He graduated to the under-21s team from the under-18s, and departs having made a combined 77 appearances for the under-18 and under-21s team.
Right-winger Ethan McLeod is another long-serving member of the academy to depart. The 20-year-old joined as an under-27, but will now seek pastures new. He played 10 times for the under-21s last season, and also had a loan spell with Alvechurch.
Central midfielder Mason Rees has also departed. The 18-year-old had a brief loan spell at Rushall Olympic, and was a prominent member of the under-18s team. Rees was at the club from the age of nine-years old, and played for the under-18s team whilst he was still in school. He was the captain of the under-18s team, before graduating in to the under-21s set up last season.
At the end of their statement, Wolves sent a message to the four players departing, by saying: “The club would like to thank all four players for their hard work and dedication over the years, and wish them all the best in the future
Returning from their Euro 2024 campaign, Portugal were back in action in the Nations League on Thursday night as they took on Croatia.
While Nelson Semedo did not start, he did come off the bench at half-time as his country won the game 2-1.
SofaScore believes the right-back put in a solid performance, making two tackles and one key pass. However, he also lost possession three times and was dribbled past twice. As a result, he was awarded a 6.7 rating.
