Wolverhampton announced on the club's official social network service (SNS) on the 24th (Korea time) that `Three players from the Wolverhampton Wanderers Academy have signed their first professional contract with the club.'
The players who signed with Wolverhampton this time are Markenzie Bradbury, Elvis Ellendu, and Jimin-gyu.
Jimin Kyu is a winger born in 2006 and holds both South Korean and British citizenship. He has been a youth player at Sutton United since 2019, and joined Wolverhampton Youth in 2022.
Wolverhampton signed a contract with Korean striker Jimin Kyu. He scored eight goals in the U18 Premier League last season" he said.

John Hunter-Barrett, Wolverhampton Academy Manager, commented on Jimin-kyu, "He is a smart and creative attacking midfielder who enjoys not only scoring goals but also making goals for him. After moving to the club, he fully embraced Wolverhampton Academy philosophy and quickly adapted to our style of play."
Jimin-gyu is now aiming to make his first team debut in Wolverhampton. It is Wolverhampton's first team, where Korean national soccer striker Hwang Hee-chan is active. Still young, the club is likely to be hoping for more growth. Attention is focusing on whether Jimin-kyu can become the 16th Korean Premier Leaguer. At the same time, attention is being paid to whether he will join the Korean national team in the near future. If Jimin-gyu gets the opportunity to play for the national team, he has to choose between the Korean and English national teams.
This is similar to the situation of Korean national soccer team Jens Kastroff. Born in 2003, Kastrov had a German father and a Korean mother. Kastrov played for the German national team by age, but chose South Korea as the senior national team.
