Dominic Iorfa ia a defender at Wolverhampton Wanderers. He is a regular in their U21 team, but has recently started playing for their first team.

Early years

Iorfa is the son of the Nigerian international striker of the same name. Wikipedia gives Dominic Junior's date of birth as 8 July 1995, however the Wolves official site and Soccerbase both give it as 24 June 1995, so we have used that. He joined the Wolves academy from Southend's youth system, joining as an Under-16 player.

Shrewsbury Town

Iorfa's first taste of league football came at Shrewsbury. He joined them on loan on 18 March 2014, and played seven times for them.

Wolves first team

After featuring regularly at U21 level, Dominic Iorfa made his competitive début on 6 December 2014 at the age of 19. It was a Championship match against Bournemouth at Molineux, which Wolves eventually lost 1-2, having had two players sent off. Although he claims to feel most comfortable in the centre of defence, most if not all of his senior games have so far been at right back.

Contract

Iorfa is contracted until the Summer of 2015, with the club holding an additional year's option.

International career

To date Iorfa has two England caps, one at U18 level and one at U20 level against Portugal away.
