New Everton signing Conor Coady has opened up on a ‘tough’ six-week period at Wolves that led to him leaving Molineux.
The 29-year-old arrived at Goodison Park earlier this week - initially on a season-long loan with an option to buy next year - in a bid to maintain the regular football he has enjoyed during his seven seasons in the Midlands, no doubt with the 2022 World Cup this winter on his mind.
Coady has averaged just over 45 games per season in all competitions over that spell and never played less than 39 in one campaign, but a summer in which Bruno Lage spent over £20million on Nathan Collins and hinted at deploying a back-four - with the promising Max Kilman preferred - saw the 10-cap England international dropped for their opening weekend defeat at Leeds United: the final straw of a ‘tough’ period which has pushed a move away.
