He spent a season at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/sheffield-united-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_self\">Sheffield United<\/a> on loan from Liverpool and, after leaving Merseyside, played for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/huddersfield-town\/\" target=\"_self\">Huddersfield Town<\/a> for one season.<\/p>\n<p>After settling down at Wolves, though, the 27-year-old now feels at home.<\/p>\n<p>He told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolves.co.uk\/news\/first-team\/20200930-coady-this-feels-like-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">club website<\/a>: &#8220;You always want the future to go well and when I first signed for this football club, all you wanted was to get promoted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was lucky a club like Wolves came in for me, when I was at Huddersfield, and when I got the phone call at the time, I said, \u2018Let\u2019s get this done\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now I\u2019ve been here five years, it\u2019s been absolutely incredible, and it\u2019s a place I feel at home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Hungry for More<\/h3>\n<p>When Wolves returned to the Premier League in 2018, a lot was expected of them due to the heavy investment that had been put into the playing squad.<\/p>\n<p>In their first campaign back, a seventh-place finish secured them a place in the 2019\/20 Europa League, and despite having to balance their second Premier League season with a first European campaign for almost 40 years, they finished seventh again and reached the quarter-finals of Europe&#8217;s second-tier competition.<\/p>\n<p>For a side that was playing in League One as recently as 2014, it&#8217;s been a sensational rise, and it&#8217;s something that Coady is keen to experience more of with the club.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;You can\u2019t be satisfied. This is an amazing thing the club\u2019s given me \u2013 I\u2019m so, so grateful for what this club\u2019s given me over five years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It doesn\u2019t stop me wanting to improve and help this club as much as possible.
