The Stafford-born midfielder, Morgan Gibbs-White, received a call-up to the England squad for the Nations League fixtures during the September international break.
Gibbs-White made his senior international debut with a 13-minute appearance in England’s 2-0 victory over Ireland at the Aviva Stadium.
Although Gibbs-White’s time at Wolves didn’t end as expected, the respect between the club and their former player remained evident as he earned his first England cap.
Following his debut, Gibbs-White shared a celebratory post on social media, captioning a photo with the words, “Dreams really do come true.” The 24-year-old received numerous congratulatory messages, including one from former Wolves teammate Tommy Doyle, who commented, “Love it lad,” showing his support.
As a product of Wolves’ academy, many at the club are likely proud of Gibbs-White’s achievement, despite any on-pitch rivalry.

Since joining Forest, the midfielder has continued to impress, making his transfer a lucrative decision for Wolves. Though losing an academy talent is always bittersweet, the club profited significantly from the sale, and with only 12 Premier League starts under his belt at Molineux, Gibbs-White’s potential was recognized just as he moved on.
Despite any lingering competitive tension, it’s uplifting to see another Wolves academy graduate make his international debut for England.
