Kenny Jackett has faith in Wolverhampton Wanderers defence

Kenny Jackett is happy with his young Wolverhampton Wanderers defence after selling Richard Stearman to Fulham.

Kenny Jackett has reiterated his faith in Wolverhampton Wanderers' young defence since the departure of Richard Stearman.

Stearman joined Fulham on the last day of the transfer window for a fee thought to be around £2.5m, leaving Jackett with an inexperienced Wolves defence.

"I feel that centre-back is a strong position for us," Jackett told Wolverhampton's official website. "Danny Batth just starting training now and we have Ethan Ebanks-Landell and Kortney Hause, and Dominic Iorfa who came through the ranks at centre-half.

"Two of the four guys are currently with the England Under-21s and it will be interesting to see whether they play in these two games after representing the Under-20s – we will be keen to watch their progression.

"Similarly Batth has quite rightly been the club captain and since he stepped into the side, Ebanks-Landell has been very good."

Jackett and Wolves will travel to Bolton Wanderers for their next league game on September 12.
