Kieran Trippier on Wolves Move

Kieran Trippier is back in the Championship with Wolves after a 12-year absence, aiming to help the team gain promotion.

Background

Trippier, a former England full-back, signed with Wolves, but his arrival was followed by the sacking of manager Rob Edwards just three days later. A deal for Edwards' replacement, César Peixoto, was already in the works.

Key Details

Trippier admitted he was not expecting the manager's departure, saying, 'I'm not going to sit here and lie, I wasn't expecting it.' He had positive conversations with Rob Edwards before his sacking, but is focused on playing for Wolves. Despite the surprise, Trippier continued his pre-season training, including a stint in Mallorca.

What It Means

Trippier's experience in the Premier League will be valuable as he navigates the Championship, which he describes as 'relentless' and 'totally different' from the top tier. His commitment to Wolves remains strong, and he is looking forward to the new season.
