Wolves have relied heavily on the talented striker this season, as Hwang is having his best season yet since signing on loan in 2021.

“Since Hee Chan arrived, it’s not always been pain sailing, but he’s always given everything for the club,” said sporting director Matt Hobbs. ”

“Now, the fans are really appreciating what he’s doing on the pitch, he’s scoring goals and is an important part of Gary [O’Neil’s] team. It’s fully deserved for what he’s doing on and off the pitch.

“Form always dominates these sorts of decisions, but Hee Chan’s bought into the club, he loves the area, and you can see the love he has for the fans. This fits really nicely and gives us some longevity with him on a longer contact, being such an important player for us.

“It shows good players can see what’s going on at Compton and what we’re trying to build. We’re resetting the club and moving forward again, and they want to be part of that project.

“For important players, praising the manager and coaching staff in the media can be easy, but this shows real commitment and belief.”

Hwang has nine goals and two assists for O’Neil’s side this season across all competitions.

He is the first Wolves player to net six goals in the first 10 games of a Premier League season in 50 years (previously Derek Dougan).
