Wolves are hopeful summer signing Stephen Hunt will be able to make his debut in mid-October.

The £5million signing from relegated Hull City has been out of action with a foot injury since moving to Molineux and played no part in the club's pre-season preparations.

The Republic of Ireland international has stepped up his rehabilitation in the past week and appears to be on the mend after a stop-start campaign with the tigers.

Manager Mick McCarthy will be delighted to bring in the former Reading playmaker, and admitted that after the next international break would be around the time the player will return.

"We've got five games coming up and then we get another international break," he said.

"If we get him back after that two-week break, and if he was fit to start, that would be fantastic.

"That's what we're probably aiming at. I think he's still on target to be ready in October."
