Wolves boss Rob Edwards says defender Santiago Bueno is "really growing on him" after the Uruguayan's standout performance against Grimsby Town in the FA Cup.
Bueno scored the only goal of the game at Blundell Park and made a crucial tackle at the death to ensure Wolves' progress into the fifth round.
Edwards said: "Santi has been someone who is really growing on me. He goes about his business, is unassuming, very quiet and a quiet leader. I think he's been playing very well for us.
"He's good. He's got the all-important goal as well, and an amazing tackle right at the end. He's just a good footballer and he showed up."
On dealing with the conditions at Blundell Park, Edwards added: "For the lads that will be here with us next year, that's the kind of spirit and character and fight that we want here at the football club."
