Matt Doherty thriving at Wolverhampton Wanderers this season

Matt Doherty has shared his excitement after becoming a regular starter for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League again. The Ireland defender feels like he has a "new lease of life" with the team. This season, he has made 27 appearances and played every minute in the last six league matches. Doherty had a tough start to the season. After starting the first two games, he did not play again in the league until December. Despite this, he stayed positive and communicated with the manager, Gary O’Neil, about his situation. He believed he could return to the starting lineup and was ready to make the most of any opportunity. After a spell at Atletico Madrid, where he played only twice, Doherty was happy to come back to Wolves in 2023. He has always felt confident in his abilities, even when not playing regularly. "When you are playing, it does change how you feel," he said. Currently, he appreciates the trust the manager has in him. Since O’Neil left the club, new manager Vitor Pereira has moved Doherty to a more central position in a back-three formation. This change has allowed him to become more involved in the game. Doherty mentioned that he has always been willing to adapt to different positions on the field. Now, he is focused on continuing to perform well and helping the team succeed.
