Goalie Dan Bentley’s new three-year deal has been welcomed by Wolves head coach Gary O’Neil.Bentley recently agreed to a new three-year contract with the option of a fourth, making him Wolves’ third choice keeper after Sam Johnstone and Jose Sa. The goalkeeper, who had previously played for Southend, Brentford, and Bristol City, joined Wolves in January of last year and rose through the ranks to become a key player in the team and a prominent figure at the Compton training facility.
The 31-year-old has been linked to a potential summer transfer to Arsenal, where he played as a young player, where he would serve as backup goalkeeper.
However, Wolves were keen to retain his services and offered a new three-year deal, which was signed last month.
I’m pleased because he was linked with moves away from here in the summer and we were keen to keep him,” O’Neil said.
“He’s very good at what he does and understands his role, while also pushing the ones ahead of him. I’m delighted that it was all agreed.” Asked if Bentley’s new deal means previous number one Jose Sa will leave in January, O’Neil added: “No, I have no thoughts of January at the moment. The goalkeepers will continue to fight and see where they end up in the pecking order.”
