 Wolverhampton Wanderers have today confirmed the signing of Centre Back Jody Craddock from Sunderland for £1.75M

 The 28 year old has signed a 3 year contract with Wolves and joined up with his new team-mates at Wolves temporary training base RAF Cosford.

 Jones told WOW "He is a good defender who knows the Premiership inside out. He is an excellent addition to the first team squad."

 "He will have a couple of sessions to work with the rest of the squad before we will probably give him a game on Saturday"

 Meanwhile Black Cats chairman Bob Murray told the Birmingham Post he is sad to see the midlands-born centre back leave the Stadium Of Light. 

"I have spoken to Jody personally as this was a very tough decision to make," he said. "He is an impeccable professional who has always done his best for the club.

"Jody has been with us for six years and has given his all during that time, but is moving closer to his home town, which will give him and his family a fresh start.

"Everyone at the club is very sorry to see Jody go but wishes him and his wife every happiness and success in the future."
