Craddock will be 35 in July but the central defender has become a regular this season and weighed in with five goals - including one in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Aston Villa. Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has rewarded Craddock by offering him a new deal along with Hahnemann and midfielder Dave Jones. And Hahnemann believes Craddock - the only survivor from when Wolves were last in the top flight six years ago - still has a crucial role to play at Molineux. The former Reading keeper said: "Jody has been super important for us. "When I came into the club, he didn't have a contract sorted and it was almost hard to believe, given how steady he is, that was even in question. "He has proved he is up for the Premier League and he deserves it. "He can still have a big part to play next season. I don't see why not. Jody is super fit, he is in the gym all of the time. He is a little bit thinner than I am!" Hahnemann is optimistic that Wolves, who take on West Ham at Upton Park tonight, can cling onto their top flight status for another season. They are currently four points clear of the bottom three after winning at Burnley and sharing the spoils at Villa Park. He said: "We are playing well and that's all you have to do. "It would be nice to have more points on the board but we are performing at the right times to get ourselves out of trouble."
