David Edwards believes he is ready to establish himself in the Wales squad after escaping the nightmare of Luton's cash crisis.The 22-year-old is likely to win his third cap in Wednesday night's friendly international against Norway in Wrexham.
And after a £600,000 move to Wolves, Edwards can start to relax and kickstart his career after worrying times at Kenilworth Road.
Edwards played a major part in Luton's remarkable 1-1 FA Cup draw with Liverpool last month - his last game for the club before being sold to Wolves to satisfy the administrators.
Edwards said: "Things have started to go well for me. A year ago I was left out of the play-off final by Shrewsbury and then moved to Luton before that went pear-shaped.
"Since then I have made my international debut and joined Wolves, so it has been a bit of a roller-coaster.
"It was very difficult at Luton in the end, the lads really stuck together but in the time I was there I got two weeks' wages out of 10 and that was not good."
He added: "It was Christmas time, and did not affect me being a young lad as it did some of the other guys with families.
"That really was a serious problem. I just hope everyone there comes out the other side of a nightmare and it looks like they have got a buyer in place.
"It's a lovely little club and I enjoyed my time there. I have great sympathy for the players and the fans. The former manager Kevin Blackwell was always brilliant with me and I wish them all well in the future."
Edwards added: "I played in that first cup game against Liverpool, but I signed for Wolves on the Friday before the replay so I missed out on Anfield, which would have been an experience even though Luton did eventually lose 5-0 there.
"I didn't have an option to stay for the replay, the deal was done between the clubs and I was just the object told where to go. Things were pretty serious for Luton at the time with a lot of lads being sold.
"But going to Wolves, near my home in Shrewsbury, was the perfect outcome for me. There are a few of the Wales squad lads there and it was good going into a dressing room where I knew people.
"The international side for me has helped me playing in a higher level at Wolves. It suits my style of game so I hope it continues like that.
"I feel the game in Germany, my second cap, against such a good side and in a big stadium in November, has helped me handle pressure.
"And I won't forget how we (Luton) we frightened the life out of Liverpool. We had more possession and more shots and were played them off the park to be honest, we deserved to win it.
"Now I want to be a regular at Wolves and keep in the Wales squad. I want to be in the first team, not drifting into the reserves."
