GENERAL STEWARD APPLICATION FORM
DIVERSITY MONITORING FORM

We are Wolves. Progressive, determined, bright, unified and humble. A pack that is hungry for

success. Wolves is one of the fastest growing professional football clubs in the UK, and also boasts

one of the richest histories in the beautiful game.

Formed in 1877, Wolves was a founder member of the Football League, and was one of the

country’s most successful sides in the fifties and sixties. During a two decade spell the Black

Country’s most decorated side won three First Division titles and one of its four FA Cups.

Fast forward 70 years and Wolves are back among football’s European elite, but this time we will
compete as a sports and entertainment business across multiple brand verticals. As a challenger
club, Wolves dare to be different, which is why creating world class propositions in esports, fashion
and music are all part of our ambitious plans.

At Wolves, we don’t simply look to the future, we seize it.

We take seriously our commitment to the safeguarding of children and adults at risk and to
ensuring that Wolves is free from discrimination and harassment.
