Wolves boss Kenny Jackett has revealed that the Championship club have ended their interest in signing former Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi.

Shola Ameobi

The 33-year-old Nigeria international, who left St James’ Park in May 2014, had been training with Wolves.

He then played the first 68 minutes of Monday’s 3-2 defeat for the club’s Under-21 side at Swansea.

But Jackett confirmed they would not be pursuing Ameobi after Tuesday’s League Cup defeat at Middlesbrough.
