Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have reacted to the club’s decision to loan out Bright Enobakhare to Wigan Athletic.

The 21-year-old forward will be playing his football in the Championship at the DW Stadium in 2019/20, after impressing on loan at League One Coventry City last term.

Kevin Thelwell, sporting director at the club, said: “We’re really pleased to tie Bright down to an extended deal and also pleased to give him the opportunity to go and play in the Championship.

“We’re hoping he’ll be able to build on the great work that he did at Coventry last year.”

The Nigerian youngster has been with Wolves since 2015 after moving to Birmingham from his homeland.

So far the youngster has made 49 first-team appearances for the club, his last coming in the 2017/18 season.

Having signed a new contract, Enobakhare’s Wigan move is a great chance to show his parent club he can play a part in 2020/21.

Wolves fans react

The reaction from Wolves supporters to Enobakhare’s loan departure was fairly mixed on social media.

Some think it’s a good move for the player, while others are sorry to see him leave a relatively threadbare squad behind.
