The 30-year-old German goalkeeper played his first minutes with his new team in a friendly match against third division side SC Verl, where he kept a clean sheet in the first half.

According to information from the Kicker media, Wellenreuther has already established himself at the top of the goalkeeping hierarchy among Wolves. He is now ahead of Pavao Pervan, relegated to the understudy position, and the young Polish international Jakub Zielinski, promoted to third goalkeeper.
