Wednesdays 24-year-old right-back Maurice Ross has moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers on trial with view to a permanent deal. The ex-Rangers and Scottish international is said to want first-team football for which he's not guarenteed at Hillsborough.

Paul Sturrock has agreed to let defender Maurice Ross move to Wolves for a weeks trial.

The 24-year-old ex-Rangers right-back is said to want first team football for which he is not guarenteed at Hillsborough.

Sturrock said: ''Maurice has come to me and obviously he feels he wants to be playing first team football. I can't promise him that at this football club, especially in that position where I feel Frankie Simek has done a very good job.''

Ross has made just two appearences for the Owls since his move south of the border and has moved to Molineux hoping to impress on a weeks trial with a view to a loan deal until January. The loan may then turn in to a permanent deal if successful.

The scot made over 60 appearances for Rangers and 12 appearances for Scotlandm but has failed to stake a claim on the right back position at Hillsborough.
