Matt Murray has insisted leaving Wolves "is the last thing on my mind" as he strives to repay the loyalty shown to him during his lengthy injury lay-offs.
The in-form goalkeeper has only 18 months to run on his contract as speculation mounts that he could become a target for Barclays Premiership clubs.
Murray gave another demonstration of his quality in front of England goalkeeping coach Ray Clemence in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Birmingham at St Andrews.
But the 25-year-old is adamant leaving Wolves is not on his agenda and wants to help them regain their top-flight status.
He said: "I'm enjoying playing my football for Wolves. They've always been brilliant with me and stuck by me through all of my injuries.
"Just staying in the team is the biggest thing. If anything did happen, it would be up to the club but I'm just concentrating on playing for a great club in Wolves.
"I want to get into the Premiership with them. We believe, with the squad we've got and the manager (Mick McCarthy), we can be promoted.
"Moving is the last thing on my mind. If we get promoted, I want to play this time instead of being on the treatment table."
Wolves owner Sir Jack Hayward, who over the weekend admitted he is prepared to sell the club for £20million, has pledged to help Murray achieve his Premiership dream by making money available in the January transfer window.
He said: "Mick McCarthy is doing a wonderful job and I am prepared to back him in January."
