Matt Jarvis

An irrepressible presence on either wing, Jarvis joined Wolves for in June 2007 after a tribunal set the transfer fee following the expiry of his contract at Gillingham.

Born in Middlesbrough, Jarvis began his career in the capital with Millwall, only to be released by the club prior to going professional. He subsequently signed for Gillingham aged just 17, making his debut in November 2003.

The 2004/05 season saw Jarvis establish himself in the Gillingham first-team, and he became a key figure at the Priestfield Stadium over the coming two seasons. After rejecting the Gills' offer of a new contract, Jarvis moved to Molineux in the summer of 2007 having been named in the PFA Team of the Year.

Injury delayed his debut in the Midlands, but he recovered to make 27 appearances in his first season. The 2008/09 season saw more injuries but he still made a valuable contribution to his side's promotion bid, scoring 3 goals in 21 starts.
