Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes is helping children in Wolverhampton who have a stammer.

Gomes, who has a stammer himself, is supporting Wolf Words - which is offering more than 30 school children in Wolverhampton mentoring and activities to build confidence.

The scheme is funded by the Premier League and PFA Players' Fund and currently supports nine students at Warstones and 32 children across five schools in total.

"This is so special and you can really see the impact the project is having," he said.

"I want to give back to Wolverhampton for everything that the city has given to me, and this is something that I really believe in."
