Quashie loaned to Wolves

Midfielder Nigel Quashie has joined Coca-Cola Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan until the end of the season.

The Scottish international becomes the second West Ham United midfielder to have joined the Midlands side in a week after Kyel Reid completed a temporary deal last Thursday.

Quashie has just finished a three-month loan spell with Wolves' local and promotional rivals Birmingham City. Ironically, the 30-year-old's last game for the Blues was against Mick McCarthy's side in a 2-0 FA Cup third round defeat on 13 January.

That appearance means Quashie is now cup-tied for Wolves' FA Cup tie with Middlesbrough on Saturday, but he could make his debut for the league leaders in Tuesday's Championship game at Reading.
