Bio

The Ipswich-born defender came through the Town youth system and has now established himself as a first-team regular. 

The centre-half made his senior Town debut in a 2-0 League Cup win over Luton Town in August 2017 and, after returning from a loan spell with Bromley in the National League, made his Championship bow in a 4-0 win away at Reading in April of 2018. 

He spent the 2018/19 season on loan at Swindon Town, making 36 appearances in League Two and, after returning to Portman Road, began to establish himself as a first-team regular with Town in 2019/20. 

Wolfy started 41 of the Blues’ 46 league games as Kieran McKenna’s side won promotion back to the Championship in 2022/23, as part of a defence which only conceded 35 goals along the way. 

He remained a mainstay of the side in the second tier, making 42 appearances and scoring once during a stunning season which ended with promotion to the Premier League.

He is contracted to Town until the summer of 2025, having signed a new long-term deal in 2022.
