Highly regarded Monaghan United goalkeeper, Aaron McCarey, is set to join Wolves when the transfer window re-opens in January.
The 17-year-old Irishman was at Molineux earlier this week with his family and representatives of his club.
Subject to completing a medical, an agreement was reached with Monaghan and the player, the Irish youngster, who this season has established himself as first choice keeper for the Republic of Ireland based side, will become a Wolves player in the New Year.
Aaron will work under Wolves’ goalkeeping coach Pat Mountain and initially be part of Steve Weaver’s development squad.
“Aaron came in for three days recently for us to have a look at him and Steve and I also went to watch him play for Monaghan,” says Pat.
“We’ve had lots of positive reports on him and were also impressed by what we saw in the game when he did really well. He’s been playing mens’ football in Ireland but has only ever trained part-time so coming in on a full-time basis working with better standard goalkeepers and playing more games should help him to kick on” he continued.
“With Daniel Wright having to retire, we’ve been looking at recruiting a keeper of that age and Aaron is a good prospect with potential for the future.”
