Approximately 120 male and female students came to Molineux following their afternoon fixtures for some social time together before listening to two fascinating presentations and watching the fixture between two of Europe’s most historic clubs.

The experience was just one of many enjoyed by students from the courses based at the City of Wolverhampton College and Our Lady & St Chad Catholic Academy as part of their further education studies with the Foundation.

The pre-match presentations to the students were delivered by Stephen Gilpin, Head of Performance Services for Academy and Women at Wolves, and former professional player Courtney Pitt, now the Lead Coach for the Under 11/12 phase with the Academy,

“This was a really great evening for all the students and another invaluable part of the many enrichment activities which they are able to experience whilst with us at the Foundation,” says Brad Moore, Senior Education Officer with Wolves Foundation.
