Wolves will be hoping to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking following their relegation to the Championship last season.
Clearly intent on adding experience to their squad ahead of what will be a gruelling 2026-27 season, they have now confirmed the signing of Trippier, 35.
Trippier became a free agent after his contract with Newcastle expired, ending his four-and-a-half-year spell at St James’ Park.
Speaking to the club’s in-house media team, manager Rob Edwards is clearly delighted with the signing.
“I’m so happy to bring him here,” Edwards said. “When we met, it was evident that he really wants to come to Wolves.
“We know what we’ve lacked this year, and we know what we need next year – experience, leadership, resilient characters and strong characters – that’s what we’re going to need in abundance, and Tripps ticks every box.
“From quality to experience to leadership to know how, and he also has a real hunger. He wants to help us get promoted again, and this is really something for us to achieve.
“He did have good options elsewhere, so for us to be able to get it over the line and get him in is a real coup.
“But it shows what a big club we are. We are a big draw and building on the Andre news, I don’t think we could have had a better start to the summer with what we’re trying to do.”
