The Wolves Academy products have signed deals until the summer or 2017, with a further year's option should the club decide to retain them.

“It is good news for the club and they are both good young players," said Wolves boss Kenny Jackett.

“Ethan had some games last season and then had his first run at centre back earlier in the season when he did very well before picking up a hamstring injury.

“Dominic has come into the side in recent weeks for his debut and has also done very well.

“It wasn’t necessarily an easy time to come into the team but they have shown some good promise for the future.

“They have power, athleticism and composure on the ball and you need all of that in this division."

22-year-old Ebanks-Landell has made seven appearances for the Wolves first team this season, scoring one goal.

19-year-old Iorfa has featured six times, including Saturday's 0-0 FA Cup Third Round draw at Fulham.

“Young players here know that if they do well there is the chance to win first team places and new contracts," added Jackett.

“Jack Price has come back from a loan spell [at Leyton Orient] and gone back into the team and done well, and it is all about building a career.

“It is very unusual that young players come into the team and stay there and they can dip in and out and build up towards being top class performers which is what we want."

Kenny Jackett's side currently sit in eighth position in the Sky Bet Championship, having amassed 37 points from 24 league games.
