Foley's fantastic says ex Wolves man Keith Andrews

“He’s bided his time when other people have had their opportunities and truly deserved his cap and I’m sure he’ll win many more.

“Without doubt he can play in World Cup qualifiers – I rate him very highly,” said Andrews. “I think he’ll show his class next season at Premier League level and I think he’ll keep going from there.

“He’s still only relatively young so I think he’s got a very good future.”

Andrews, who has cemented his place at Ewood Park after a rocky start under another former Wolves’ man, then-manager Paul Ince, believes Foley is a major asset for his old club.

“He’s a Premier League player, absolutely. He’s got all the attributes,” he said.

“He doesn’t get the credit he deserves as a defender – everyone sees him as an attacking full-back but he very rarely gets caught out defensively.”

As for his former club, Andrews is delighted to see them back among the elite.

“It’s great to see Wolves in the Premier League next season,” he said.

“I’m really looking forward to going back there and hopefully winning! It would be nice to go back there, score and win!”

Andrews added: “It’s going to be very hard for them – all the teams who came up last season would tell you the same.

“Stoke and Hull managed to stay up this time and credit to them, but Wolves have a very tough job ahead of them next season,” he added.
