Wolverhampton Wanderers have signed Welsh international Rob Edwards from Aston Villa. The right back did not feature in Villa manager, David O'Leary's plans and moves for £150,000. Edwards was third choice in his position at Villa Park behind fellow Welshman Mark Delaney and Ecuadorian Ulises De la Cruz.

The 6-cap international has signed a three year deal at Molineux as they prepare for life in the Championship after being relegated from the Premiership.

Wolves will pay £150,000 up front for the 21-year-old with the possibility of the deal rising to £225,000.

An initial medical had shown a right ankle problem but Edwards has now been given the all clear.

Wolves boss Dave Jones said: "I'm pleased to get him, especially after the medicals he has had to pass."
