Sam Vokes joined Wolves from Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee shortly after the conclusion of the 2007/08 campaign.

The 18-year-old completed the formalities of a four year deal in a week when he was named in the Welsh senior squad for the first time after playing regularly for the under 21s.

He won his first two senior caps after coming on as a substitute against both Iceland and Holland and scored a crucial first international goal, a late winner having come off the bench in a World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan.

The big striker also made an impressive start to life at Wolves, coming off the bench to notch an equaliser on the opening day of the season at Plymouth and producing a late brace in the 3-1 at Charlton in September.

Although used mainly as a substitute during his debut season (32 times in the league to four starts), Vokes still managed to plunder eight goals in all competitions and showed real promise for the future.

Vokes began his first team career with the Cherries in 2006/07 when he made eight starts and six appearances from the bench, scoring four goals. In the 2007/08 season he played in 43 games, 11 of which were as a substitute, and scored 12 goals.

He spent three months on loan at Leeds at the end of 2009, before returning to Wolves and enjoying some first team action at the start of 2010.
