Wolves defender Max Kilman has signed a new contract with the club until summer 2026.
Kilman has had a fine start to the 2021-22 season, playing every game in all competitions since the start of the campaign. He also scored his first ever goal for the Midlands side against Everton on Monday.
The 24-year-old joined Wolves in 2018 from National League Maidenhead United and has now been rewarded for establishing himself in the first-team. Kilman has made 30 senior appearances for Wolves.
Wolves' technical director Scott Sellars said: “Our first focus was to reward Max for what he’s doing on the pitch. He came into the Academy late on in his development, but he’s really kicked on and it’s important we reward players for their success, and also retain our talents.
“When we brought Max in, he had potential. He had technical and physical ability, and while he was on trial, we could see he was a great kid, so we thought he could develop, but where he’s got to is credit to him, his mentality and desire to improve.
“He’s been very patient in that process, and his development has been fantastic, so it’s something we’re all very proud of.
“Ultimately, you bring players through, and the aim is to get them into the first-team, but to get there as a young boy from non-league football, into a team full of internationals, shows his focus and work ethic. We hope other young players can see what Max has done, and it shows there’s talent outside of academies, so we’re always searching for the next Max.
“This season he’s gaining in confidence each game. Previously, he came in and out of the team, but never let the team down, and he’s consistently starting now. He’s growing each game and topped it off on Monday by getting his first goal, which is enormous credit to him.”
