Dave Edwards signs new Wolves dealWolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Dave Edwards has signed a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2014.The Welsh international has struggled to secure a regular starting place under Mick McCarthy but says he is delighted to sort out the new deal. The contract includes the option of an extra year.Edwards said: "Wolves are a good club for keeping the squad together and offering deals to players working as hard as they can. We've been in talks for quite a while and it's a great confidence booster to feel wanted."The 24-year-old still has a great deal of time left in his playing career and this is positive news for both player and club. Edwards has a number of qualities that should enable him to do well this season and in the near future.A good moveEdwards is very comfortable in possession of the football. He can get into the attacking third of the pitch where he is more comfortable. This allows him to be more creative, which sets up a higher number of chances for the strikers at Wolves to score goals.He's a versatile midfield player who can also play the holding role in front of the back four. He can play slightly wider if the club needs him to and is arguably the most versatile midfield player at the club. It's important for Wolves to retain versatile players who can increase squad depth.He only made 19 appearances in total last season but a new contract shows the club values him as a player. The new deal should satisfy any doubts he has over the part he will play in Wolves' future. McCarthy sees something in him and he could evolve into one of the best players in his position over the next two or three seasons.Betting adviceThe best approach with Edwards is to go match by match. He isn't a certainty to start in any game at the moment and this means you're best off backing him to score when you know he will start or come off the bench.
