Wolves' relegation leaves Hibs uncertain over Leigh Griffiths

Hibernian manager Pat Fenlon admits that Wolves' relegation has added to the uncertainty over the future of on-loan striker Leigh Griffiths.

The PFA Scotland young player of the year has been in fine form and Hibs are keen to extend his stay at Easter Road.

"I haven't spoken to anybody there to be honest and they don't have a manager at the moment, so that's a difficult scenario for them," said Fenlon.

"We've done as much as we can as a club and everybody knows where we stand."

Dean Saunders was sacked following Wolves' relegation to League One after they finished second bottom in the Championship.

But Wolves have a one-year option on Griffiths' contract and will decide whether the Scotland international returns to Molineux.

Fenlon was unable to shed light on reports that the 22-year-old was reportedly back in England this week holding talks with the club.

"We have him on loan and we would be delighted to have him for another season if possible, but we will just wait and see where that one goes," he said.

"He's a Wolverhampton player and they will decide what happens."
