Kieran Trippier: Wolves agree deal to sign former Newcastle defender

Wolves have agreed a deal to sign former Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier.

The 35-year-old has said yes to a two-year deal plus the option of a third with the newly-relegated Championship side.

Trippier is a free agent following four years at Newcastle.

Confirmation of the deal is pending a medical, which will take place when Trippier returns from a family holiday next week.

Wolves fended off competition from a host of clubs on the continent to land the former England international.

Wolves boss Rob Edwards sees Trippier as a leader who can help them back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Trippier joined Newcastle in January 2022 from Atletico Madrid, and was part of the team that won the Carabao Cup last year. He made 160 appearances for the Magpies in all competitions.

He announced he was leaving St James' Park in early April, and Eddie Howe also paid tribute to the defender ahead of his departure.

He said: "He's definitely deserving of recognition. I think the decision to come here in the first place needs to be celebrated because he's gone from a team that was hugely successful in Spain into a team that's fighting relegation in the Premier League.

"He took it on [the challenge of staying in the Premier League] and I'm so pleased for him that it was rewarded because there's no guarantee that was going to be the case.

"The team stayed up and then never looked back. It was strange because probably a lot of people forget that he got injured and didn't really contribute on the pitch as he would have wanted initially in our fight against relegation.

"It was more the next season where he then played an unbelievable part in our run to the Champions League. We only lost, I think, four games that season... That's probably my biggest memory of him.

"Then along with the cup final win where I thought he was magnificent that day. Absolutely gigantic performance and he got the feeling of lifting the cup with Bruno [Guimaraes] and Jamaal [Lascelles]."
