Wolves manager Mick McCarthy believes midfielder Seyi Olofinjana could be the key to them making the Championship play-offs.The Nigeria international suffered a dip in confidence following his return from the African Nations Cup and McCarthy believes now he's rediscovered his form he is one of the best players he has in his squad.

McCarthy told the club's official website: "Seyi is a Premier League player. He's arguably the best player we've got in terms of effectiveness at doing his job.

"He went away for six weeks and came back on a downer having been knocked out when perhaps he thought they should have gone on to win it.

"For lads that go away to play in the World Cup or the European Championships, when it's over they go and lie on a beach for two weeks. The African lads don't have that - it's straight back into to it going to Blackpool and Cardiff. It's not the same.

"He needed a break and now he's back to his best we've had back-to-back wins."
