Spanish full-back Hugo Bueno joined Wolves as a scholar from Areosa back in the summer of 2019 where he was converted from an attacking midfielder into a left wing-back during his first year in gold and black.

Able to play in several positions down the left side of the pitch, Bueno quickly made an impression for the academy as he starred for Steve Davis’ under-18 side in his early months at the club.

He was promoted into the Premier League 2 team before the 2019/20 season came to a close, appearing four times in Division 1 as Wolves were relegated from the top flight of youth football after the season came to an abrupt close due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bueno became a key part of James Collins’ development side the following season as the under-23s narrowly missed out on promotion to Division 1 via the play-offs, but his most fruitful time came in the closing stages of the 2021/22 season, as the Spaniard found the back of the net five times in as many outings to help the side to promotion.

Earlier that season, Bueno had begun training with the Wolves first-team and appeared on the Premier League bench on numerous occasions. He made his first senior appearances in the following pre-season, as he appeared in many of the club’s friendly matches in Spain and Portugal.
