Wolves' executive chairman Nathan Shi said he was "delighted" to have signed the England Under-19 international.

"Sean is a talented player who Cesar (Peixoto, head coach) and Matt (Jackson, technical director) both spoke to and were impressed by, and we believe he has a lot of potential to be successful with us," Shi told the club website., external

"We are delighted to welcome him to Wolves, and he will have the full support of us all.

"We already have a lot of experience in that department with Raul [Jimenez] and Adam [Armstrong], and we think signing a younger profile in Sean complements the group well for what we know will be a long and challenging Championship season."
