# Williamson enjoyed Wolves spell

Mike Williamson has described his brief loan spell at Wolverhampton Wanderers as ‘fantastic’.

The 31-year-old’s spell was cut short this week after Jamaal Lascelles suffered an injury in the heavy 5-1 defeat at Crystal Palace. Williamson played five times for Wolves, helping them to three clean sheets.

However, Williamson himself has picked up a hamstring strain just days after returning to Tyneside.

The recalling of Williamson leaves Wolves with just one recognised centre-back, however, Newcastle United desperately need Williamson back. Captain Fabricio Coloccini is in horrendous form, while Steven Taylor and Lascelles are both injured.

Here’s what he said to [NUFCTV](https://www.nufc.co.uk/page/TV/InterviewsDetail/0,,10278~5181819,00.html),

> My time at Wolves was fantastic, it was a good opportunity and it was a very good fit.

> I was really enjoying myself, it is a great club, the players are very good – a real togetherness, and I like the manager who was fantastic – to work with him and learn from him.

> In a way, I was enjoying it but if I’m going to come back to play, then this is where I want to be, in the Premier League.

The former Portsmouth defender established himself as a key member of the Wolves team, so losing him will be a big blow for them.
