It will now be known as the Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground sponsored by Fosun International.

The training ground has undergone a multi-million pound revamp in the past 12 months to bring it up to Premier League standards.

Wolves managing director Laurie Dalrymple said: "The facilities at our training ground, and the elite player development that our coaches provide, align seamlessly with Fosun International's commitment to health, happiness and social responsibility, with a particular emphasis on self-improvement, teamwork and performance, making this sponsorship opportunity a great fit.

"We’ve invested heavily in redeveloping our training facilities over the summer, which is why we have saved this announcement until completion of the works, but this deal means we can continue to improve year-on-year to provide a best-in-class environment for our academy players, right through to the first-team."

Fosun International advertising boards now surround the first-team training pitch at Compton Park.

The Fosun International name will also adorn LED advertising at Molineux.

Assistant president of Fosun and executive chief representative of London, LingjiangXu said: “It’s been two years since Wolves joined the Fosun family, and together with Wolves’ management team, we have helped guide the club to the Premier League in our first two seasons of ownership.

"We are very proud of our association with such an excellent club, not only fighting hard to achieve goals but also fully devoted to its youth academy.

"We believe that with a newly developed high standard training facility, Wolves will keep achieving better results in the coming seasons.”
