Karl Henry admits he has been delighted to renew his midfield partnership with David Jones, describing his engine-room partner-in-crime as a "top player".
Jones, who had played previously in the Barclays Premier League with Derby, had to wait for his first top flight start in a Wolves shirt until last month's game at Hull due largely to an early season knee injury.
But he has certainly impressed, adding the winning goal against Tottenham in midweek to the one despatched against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup, and skipper Henry is delighted to be back alongside the man he teamed up with to such a positive extent as Wolves won the Championship title.
"I'm really pleased for Jonah," says Henry.
"He's a top player with a bit of class and I've always enjoyed playing alongside him.
"I'm delighted he's back in the team and I think we've got a good understanding.
"Jonah has got so many different attributes to his game.
"He's a goalscorer - albeit I'm sure he'd like to get more - he's creative, a good passer of the ball and works really hard.
"He's a really good player and just goes about his business.
"Maybe because we're one of the smaller clubs in the league then a player like him doesn't get the hype of others at the top clubs but I suppose they have all been where we have been in the past.
"If we can sustain a Premier League place and push on maybe then a player like Jonah does get a bigger profile."
Henry was himself impressed with Jones's excellent finish to secure victory against Spurs after Wolves' 18-pass move.
But he has also revealed that his fellow midfielder hadn't been quite as accurate in the build-up to the game!
"It was great for Jonah to get his goal," said Henry.
"We'd been doing something with Terry Connor the day before the Tottenham game and it was uncanny the sort of balls 'TC' was putting in for Jonah.
"It was just like the one Jarvo put in against Tottenham but I have to say Jonah was shanking them or putting them over the bar - he didn't score with one!
"Then come Wednesday it all came good and on the back of an 18-pass move as well which deserves to be documented.
"Had it been Arsenal or Chelsea scoring it I'm sure people would be raving it and you'd be seeing it from start to finish.
"We had 18 passes and it was finished off really well and just shows how we can play football."
On the game itself, Henry admits it was a blessing-in-disguise that the Tottenham fixture came so soon after the crushing defeat at Birmingham last Sunday.
The skipper believes the impending arrival of such a big team at Molineux ensured no one could stay down for too long after Kevin Phillips' late smash-and-grab at St Andrew's.
"After a game like Birmingham you are gutted for a day but the fact that the next game came around so quickly was a big help," he said.
"At least we didn't have a week to dwell on what happened which might have allowed it to sink in more and caused us some damage.
"With the Tottenham game coming so quickly we had no option but to roll our sleeves up and get on with it and dig in.
"We didn't get time to moan about it and think about it too much despite the fact that we were so disappointed and the fans were rightly hacked off that we'd lost a game we shouldn't have.
"I'm sure they will have seen our performance level was good and definitely a lift from the Palace game.
"We knew we just had to keep fighting, and it was great to respond by beating Tottenham."
