Kenny Jackett happy with defenders ahead of new season

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Kenny Jackett insists that a move for a defender is not high on his list of priorities.

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Kenny Jackett has revealed that he is in no hurry to add defensive options to his squad ahead of the club's return to the Championship.

Despite not going as far as to rule out a move for a defender, Jackett insisted that he would be happy to begin the new season with the current defenders at Molineux.

"The partnership of Danny Batth and Richard Stearman has done nothing wrong and is a very good partnership, and will continue, but Sam Ricketts and Ethan Ebanks-Landell are both options," the Wolves boss told the Express & Star.

"There's good competition, and with the back four who played on Saturday, plus Stearman and Ebanks-Landell, I've got six players who I've got confidence in."

Wolves begin the new campaign by hosting Norwich City on August 10.
