Kenny Jackett defends Richard Stearman sale

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Kenny Jackett says that he is fine with the decision to sell Richard Stearman to Fulham.

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Kenny Jackett has stated that he backs the decision to sell Richard Stearman to Championship rivals Fulham.

The defender moved to Craven Cottage for £2.5m on Tuesday, which has led to some Wolves supporters voicing their concerns over the deal.

Jackett is confident that he has players who can step into the breach following the 28-year-old's exit.

"I feel we're well covered," the Wolves boss told the Express & Star.

"It's a position we're strong in and we won't be looking to sign any players there. I've got confidence in the lads to do the job this season, they've got fantastic potential.

"I feel that centre back is a strong position for us, with Danny Batth just starting training now and Ethan Ebanks-Landell, Kortney Hause, Dominic Iorfa as well, who came through the ranks as a centre half."

Stearman had made 234 appearances during his eight years with Wolves.
