This remained his only game for the Citizens due to many injuries. End of September 2004 he was giving for a month at the Wolverhampton Wanderers, after the end of the loan period, this was extended for another month. On 6 November, he scored his sixth and penultimate league game for the Wolves against Nottingham Forest shortly before half-time the decisive 2-1 victory.
