Boss to utilise versatile Foley

by Admin , 30 July 2010 Boss to utilise versatile Foley

Mick McCarthy has revealed defender Kevin Foley could be utilised in midfield more this season.


The Republic of Ireland international was used as a right back primarily by McCarthy for most of last season but then operated as a makeshift midfielder when required.

And the Wolves boss believes the 25-year-old has the ability to feature there more regularly in the Premier League in the new campaign.

"I've played Kevin in midfield because I know he can play there," said the boss.

"Kev's been versatile - right-back and right wing - and he's very comfortable with the ball. We'll have to play three in the middle from time to time and I like him in there because he's comfortable. "

He gives us another option in there."

Foley admits he enjoys playing as a midfielder but is just happy to play wherever asked. "

I've played midfield a few times and I was at right-back against Reading, which was nice," he said. "

Hopefully the gaffer still sees me as someone who can play in there but I love playing in midfield as well.

"I really enjoyed last season and, like any player, I just enjoy playing."
