New deal for Craddock

Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Jody Craddock has signed a new one-year contract at Molineux.

And the veteran centre-back has pledged he is ready to fight for his place next season.
The 35-year-old was offered a new deal after helping Wolves to survive in the Barclays Premier League for a third successive season and has finally put pen to paper.
Craddock knows he will face competition for his spot with Reading centre-back Matt Mills among Wolves manager Mick McCarthy's potential targets. But he is prepared for the battle.


He said: "It's good news that the contract is all done and dusted and I can concentrate on the year ahead.
"This time last year I was thinking it would be my last season so to get another 12 months is a big achievement.
"There may be competition but it's never a problem for me when a new centre-half comes in.
"It's all about what benefits the club. If I have to scrap it out with another centre-half, so be it.
"I just need to give myself the best opportunity to be involved at the start of the season."
Craddock, an accomplished artist, was Wolves' player of the year for the 2009/10 campaign but injury problems meant he missed most of last season before returning for the run-in.
He made 15 appearances in the Barclays Premier League in 2010/11 playing a key role and using his experience to help the club survive.
