Carl Ikeme became a regular in the reserves throughout 2003/04 and was named on the first team bench for 7 of Wolves' Premiership matches, as understudy to Michael Oakes, before the arrival of Paul Jones.
He was again named as an unused substitute five times during 2004/05, after spending a spell on loan with Accrington Stanley, where he made 3 appearances.

Ikeme spent the first half of 2005/06 on loan to Stockport, returning to Molineux's club in January.

The following season saw him dogged by a knee injury which was the first of a series of problems restricting Ikeme to only a couple of Wolves appearances prior to the 2008/09 season.

But his patience was rewarded with his first sustained run in the team making 10 successive starts before being forced off at Sheffield United in November with a hip injury.

He was soon back again to vie with Wayne Hennessey for the first team shirt and signed a new contract in December, 2008, keeping him at Molineux until 2012.

With Wayne Hennessey and then Marcus Hahnemann occupying first team duties in the 2009/10 season, Ikeme enjoyed successful loan spells at Charlton, Sheffield United and QPR during that campaign, with another at Leicester at the start of the following season.

A shoulder injury then required surgery but Ikeme made a full recovery and, after loan spells with Middlesbrough and Doncaster, made the Wolves shirt his own in the 2012/13 campaign.

Ikeme played the majority of games as Wolves stormed to the League One title in 2013/14, and then continued his impressive form to become regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the Championship the following year.
