wolves and bohs have a good relationship now with now him and stephen ward coming from bohs to molineux good move for all !!

Wolves have recruited another promising youngster in the shape of Irish defender Matt Doherty.

Highly-rated Welsh striker Jake Cassidy arrived on Tuesday and a deal has now been agreed to bring in fellow teenager Doherty.

The 18-year-old caught Mick McCarthy's eye whilst playing for Bohemians in pre-season against both Wolves and Aston Villa.

He follows in the footsteps of Stephen Ward, who made the move to Molineux from the Dublin club in 2007.

Chief Executive Jez Moxey is pleased with the capture of Doherty, telling the Express & Star: "Matt's performance was noted by Mick and the coaching team in our friendly against Bohemians at the start of pre-season.

"We followed up the interest and after he impressed again in training it was decided to pursue a deal.

"From the time we signed Stephen Ward we have always enjoyed a good relationship with Bohemians and have twice played them in friendly matches.

"Mick has also been very successful with the Irish players he has brought in, and Matt is another young and bright talent with plenty of potential."

Opportunity

Reports suggest the transfer fee is in the region of �75,000, with Bohemians set to receive around �40,000.

Smaller Irish clubs Belvedere and Home Farm are also set to get a cut after helping Doherty develop before his recent move to Bohemians.

Bohs boss Pat Fenlon said: "We have spoken to his schoolboy clubs here in Dublin and they are happy with what we are doing.

"This is a great opportunity for Matt, sometimes it's not just about making money - and I know we need the money - but we're not standing in his way. He's a very good young player who has a real chance.

"I know Mick McCarthy is very taken with him, so we wish him the best of luck."
