MATT DOHERTY has returned to Wolves on a free transfer.

And he can’t wait to enjoy chapter two of his Molineux career.

The 31-year-old left for Tottenham in a £15million transfer three years ago.

Doherty experienced Champions League football during his time with Spurs and Atletico Madrid, who he left in June after just six months.

And he says Julen Lopetegui is gaining a better player as a result.

Doherty made 302 appearances during a hugely successful first spell with the Old Gold.

He has now agreed a three-year-deal to return to Wolves.

And Doherty declared: “I’ve grown as a player in confidence, physically I’ve improved and tactically too.

“I’ve worked with some of the best managers on the planet and I’ve experienced some really good trips away in Europe and had a great time.

“But I’ve managed to find my way back home.

“I’ve had some times when my form hasn’t been great and I’ve not been able to play as well as I did when I was at Wolves the first time.

“But I know I still have a lot to give and let’s hope I’m able to keep improving under this new manager and that he can get the best out of me.

“I still have my house here in the midlands and I’ve been able to move straight back into that, so everything has been running really smoothly.”
