Wolves have bolstered their goalkeeping options
for the new season after signing former Reading stopper Marcus
Hahnemann on a free transfer.
The experienced American was on the lookout for a new club
after he was released by Reading at the end of last
season.
The former Fulham keeper had loan spells with Rochdale and
Reading before going on to spend the last seven seasons at the
Madejski Stadium.
Hahnemann, 37, has signed an initial one-year deal with the
Molineux outfit and will battle it out with Wayne Hennessey for the
club's number one jersey.
The veteran is Mick McCarthy's second signing of the summer
following the capture of Serbian Nenad Milijas, who is awaiting on
a work permit before finalising his switch.
Hahnemann believes Wolves are a massive club and he is relishing
the challenge of battling with Hennessey and helping the club
retain their top-flight status.
"It's an excellent move for me. Wolves are a massive club and
it's another chance to play in the Premier League - that's a huge
draw for me," he told the Express and Star.
"I know I have a real fight to be the number one and no promises
have been made. I know I have to go in there, have a good
pre-season and then see what happens."
