Absolutely! I am sure they will offer him a new contract, but would also let him leave with their blessing. Great player and servant to the club.

A wonderful man, good goalkeeper, excellent in the dressing room, marvellous family man, worth keeping just to have him around the club

Would you like to see John Ruddy see out his playing career at Molineux?No, he should be first choice somewhere else
Yes, he is a superb back-up goalkeeper for us

The 33-year-old stopper has been at Molineux since his arrival from Norwich City in the summer of 2017 on a free transfer (per Transfermarkt).
Since his arrival at the club, Ruddy has kept a stellar 31 clean sheets in 60 appearances for the Old Gold (per Transfermarkt), leaving supporters desperate for the Englishman to stay as the club’s back-up stopper.
100% yes. Ultimate professional and with Rui in #1 he’s a great backup. I do think he’ll leave though.

Give him a new contract well worth keeping him

Absolutely Very Good Back Up

Absolutely if he will stay, this guy could walk into quite a few premier league teams but will he be content to keep playing second fiddle to Rui? Whatever decision he makes I would wish him all the best, good servant to us.

What do we think?
While Ruddy’s playing future is unknown, as he stated in a recent interview with The Pink Un, he intends to do his coaching badges soon and return to the Canaries once he retires.
However, judging from the responses it is clear to see that Wolves fans would be delighted to see Ruddy stay at Molineux beyond the expiry of his current contract at the end of the season.
