Wolves have confirmed Ryan Giles has become the latest name to leave the club, with the player joining newly promoted Luton Town.
Luton Town have made Ryan Giles their sixth signing of the summer.
The 23-year-old wing-back has moved to Kenilworth Road for an undisclosed fee from his boyhood club Wolves, where he was given his senior debut by Hatters boss Rob Edwards.
"I'm grateful to Rob for giving me my first taste of men's football and now with the chance to work with him again, especially in the Premier League, it is a fantastic opportunity," Giles told the official Luton website.
"I've reached the point that at my age that I've had a lot of loans and I feel those experiences have made me the player and the person I am today.
"Now this is a different direction, a new beginning, a new chapter."
Giles gained first-team experience at Shrewsbury, Coventry, Rotherham, Cardiff, Blackburn and Middlesbrough when away from Molineux.
Edwards said: "He's had a few loans and he's got lots of experience now, cumulating in last season where he was one of the most outstanding wide players in the Championship.
"He's got electric pace and I don't think I've ever seen anyone who can cross a ball on the run with the quality he can while at full speed."
Giles joins Chiedozie Ogbene, Issa Kabore, Mads Andersen, Marvelous Nakamba and Tahith Chong in joining Luton ahead of the club's first season in the Premier League.
