The former Wolves captain, who made 317 appearances for the club and won 10 England caps, has been linked with a coaching role at Barnsley.

Conor Coady has retired from professional football at 33 after a 503-game career spanning eight clubs. The Wolves legend, who joined Liverpool as a promising midfielder before being converted to central defence by Nuno Espirito Santo, played a pivotal role in Wolves' 2018 Premier League promotion under Kenny Jackett. He made 317 appearances for the club, captaining them to two seventh-place finishes and a Europa League quarter-final, while earning 10 England caps. After leaving Wolves on loan to Everton in 2022, Coady joined Leicester for £8.5m in July 2023, then had brief spells at Wrexham and Charlton Athletic. He has already been linked with an assistant head coach position at League One side Barnsley and has done promising media work.
