Silvio has joined Wolves from Spanish club Atletico Madrid, setting his sights on helping the Midlands club earn promotion back to the Premier League.
The Portuguese defender has signed a one-year deal, having had his contract cancelled with the La Liga club.
According to the Wolves website, the 28-year-old said: "It's always been a desire of mine to play in England and play in the Premier League.
"The Championship is a tough league but I'm positive that we will be doing all we can to gain promotion and achieve Premier League football.
"Wolves is a historic club with experience in the top division. The club isn't in its best moment but I think it can get back there.
"I don't believe Wolves is a step back in my career because the Championship is full of good clubs and I think we can be promoted. I know it's a young team but I believe that, with my knowledge and experience in football, I can help the squad."
The Lisbon-born full-back played for Braga in the 2011 Europa League final before moving to Atletico, since then he has spent time on loan at Deportivo and Benfica.
However, he was part of the Atletico side which won the Europa League four years ago.
