Wolverhampton Wanderers have signed goalkeeper Tom King from Northampton Town on a free transfer.

The 28-year-old is Wolves' first arrival of the summer and is expected to provide cover for Jose Sa and Daniel Bentley.

"To be able to get a player like Tom on a free was really pleasing," sporting director Matt Hobbs told the club's official website.

"He not only adds further depth to the goalkeeping contingent already in place at the club, but having previously worked with Tony [Roberts, Wolves' goalkeeping coach] within the Wales set-up, he knows the type of personality and character Tom will bring to the squad, so we all look forward to working with him." 

King entered the Guinness Book of Records in January 2021 for scoring from the furthest distance, his goal measured at 96.01 metres.
