Wolves have signed Michael Mancienne for a third time after the Chelsea defender moved to Molineux on a season-long loan.
Mancienne has enjoyed loan spells with Mick McCarthy's side for the past two seasons, making 10 appearances during the club's 2008/09 Championship winning campaign.
He returned to the club following their promotion to the Premier League last term and proved a versatile performer in making 33 appearances in all competitions.
The 22-year-old, who can also play in midfield, reportedly handed in a transfer request at Stamford Bridge over the summer and that led to speculation of a permanent move to Wolves.
However, McCarthy had stressed that Mancienne would be out of his club's price range and he would only be interested in a loan deal.
McCarthy has now managed to secure a deal for Mancienne and he could go straight into the squad for Saturday's game at home to Newcastle United.
The former England Under-21 international has made just six appearances during his Chelsea career and has not been involved in the 18-man squad for the champions' opening two league matches.
