West Ham's Nigel Quashie is hoping to use his experience to help Wolves win promotion after joining the Championship leaders on loan.

The midfielder has moved to Molineux from West Ham for the rest of the season after spending three months at Birmingham City.

Quashie is happy to have secured the chance of more regular football and aims to boost Wolves' bid to reach the Premier League.

"I'm delighted to be here," Quashie told the club website. "Wolves have got some very good young players and if I can help them out between now and the end of the season then great.

"I've got a bit of experience and got promoted with Portsmouth, so hopefully I can play a part.

"I know I can't come here and walk straight into the team, but Mick McCarthy has been great and made me feel wanted - I can't wait to get going."

Quashie is ineligible for the FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough, but Wolves boss McCarthy is confident the 30-year-old will be a valuable addition.

"Nigel is an excellent addition to the squad," McCarthy said.

"I'm surprised we've been able to get him to be honest, and I've also tried to sign him in the past.

"He's got some valuable experience and is also a very good player.

"He'll be a really good asset for us and an important and calming influence in the dressing room over the remainder of the season."
