Foley made his Republic of Ireland debut against Nigeria last week

Wolves right-back Kevin Foley, the club's player of the season in their promotion year, has agreed a new four-year contract at Molineux.

The 24-year-old said: "It's something we've talked about for a while. And to have finally got it done is great.

"I was always 100% up for a new contract. The gaffer pulled me just before the end of the season and said he was going to offer me a new deal.

"I feel comfortable where I am and I'm loving life at the moment."

Foley, signed from Luton Town for a reported seven-figure fee in August 2007, will make his Premier League debut next season.
