ZIMBABWE international midfielder Tawanda Chirewa has signed a new contract at Wolves and joined Championship side Derby County on loan for the 2024/25 season.
Wolves confirmed the move via a statement on Monday.
Head of professional football development Matt Jackson said: “Tawanda’s made great progress since he’s joined us from Ipswich, being a part of that first team group. He’s grown up quickly and matured to have the quality to cope there, and now we’ll see if he can affect league football.
“We had a few inquiries for him, but we were looking for specific things. We certainly like the pressure of the Championship. We like the pressure of a big club, which you get at Derby.”
Chirewa has been sent to the Championship to secure regular first team football.
Chirewa, who scored on his second international appearance for Zimbabwe in the summer, originally impressed for Wolves’ under-21s last season, before stepping up to make his senior debut in the Emirates FA Cup at Brentford in January, which signalled the biggest milestone yet of his Wolves career.
