Wolves Nigerian International Defender Isaac Okoronkwo believes he will get his chance in the Wolves first team once key players start to pick up injuries.

Isaac Okoronkwo was Dave Jones` first Premiership Summer signing, but the tall Nigerian International is yet to start a league game for Wolves.

The one start Okornkwo does have to his name came in the 2-0 win against Darlington in the Carling Cup, but he believes once he gets his chance in the first team, he will have to play so well that the Manager has no option but to keep him in the team.

Okoronkwo says that it`s not frustrating not playing in the league as it is something that all players have to face up to in their careers at one time or another.

"I wouldn`t say it was frustrating for me not to have played in the league yet, because it is something all players have to from time to time in their careers. I will face it and get over it. It`s a long season, there are bound to be injuries, and so what I have to do is make sure I`m training well so I`m ready when the Boss needs me. And when I get a game in the Cup or Reserves I have to play so well that he has no option but to play me in the first team".

Okoronkwo signed for Wolves on a one years contract and is battling for one of the Centre-Back spots with the impressive duo of Jody Craddock and club Captain Paul Butler, whilst Joleon Lescott and Mark Clyde are working to full fitness following long-term injuries.

"Off the pitch I`ve really settled in well" said Okoronkwo. "I`ve got my place to live and all my furniture moved in so I can concentrate now totally on my Football"
