Fulham have confirmed Richard Stearman is returning to Wolves on a season-long loan deal.

The 29-year-old centre-back heads back to the club at which he spent seven years before a £2m switch to Craven Cottage last summer.

Stearman struggled to recapture the same form he showed at Molineux as the Whites battled against relegation last season and Fulham have signed new centre-backs.

Manager Slavisa Jokanovic has added Ragnar Sigurdsson from Krasnodar and made Michael Madl's loan move from Sturm Graz a permanent one.

Stearman began his career as a youth at Leicester City and he made over 100 appearances for the Foxes before he was snapped up by Midlands rivals Wolves in 2008.

He captained Wolves under former manager Kenny Jackett before signing for Fulham on a three-year deal on Deadline Day last year.
