Wayne Hennessey

Wayne Hennessey (Born 24 January 1987) Is a Welsh Goalkeeper who plays for Premier League side Wolves. He joined the club through the Youth Academy in 2003 and has remained there ever since.

Under Josh Murphy
Despite being relegated from the Premiership Josh Murphy still had faith in Wayne Hennessey to be the main goalkeeper and didn't bring anybody else in as back up, instead fellow Wolves youth Academy player Carl Ikeme was kept as back up for Wayne Hennessey. Out of the 46 Championship games Hennessey played in 40. The other 6 games went to Carl Ikeme. After promotion once again Hennessey was the main goalkeeper, but in the January transfer market Carl Ikeme departed due to lack of games, and as a result Murphy signed experienced veterin Chris Kirkland, who managed to play 7 games in the second half of the Season, meaning Wayne Hennessey finished the 2013-14 Season with 29 Premiership games out of a total of 38. In the 2014-15 Seaon Wayne Hennessey once again found himself beating all competition for the main goalkeeping spot, missing only 4 Premiership games all season long, Chris Kirkland played those matches. 2015-16 will perhaps be Hennessey's most memorable year, as he played all but one Premiership game, keeping Chris Kirkland, now 35 out of the squad. In January Kirkland left the club, due to being unable to get any games, in his replacment Wolves signed Nathan N'Gala from their youth Academy who failed to make a single appearence for Wolves before being released in the following season. Once again Hennessey was the first choice goalkeeper for the 2016-17 Campaign, only being dropped on only four occasions to allow promising youth Player Richard Dann four premiership opertunities. The 2017-18 season saw Ali Al-Habsi brought in as back up for the squad, and as a result of this Hennessey didn't appear in as many matches. However, Hennessey was still the clear first choice goalkeeper, ending another fantastic season with 32 Premier League games.
