John "Jack" Ruddy (born 27 December 1997) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for English club Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Club career
Born in Glasgow, Ruddy was on the books of hometown team Rangers from the age of seven to twelve, being coached by Andy Goram, before emigrating to Murcia in Spain in 2010. At the age of 15, after impressing for Torre Pacheco, he signed a contract for Real Murcia.[1]
On 30 July 2014, Ruddy returned to the United Kingdom, signing for Bury.[2] He was first featured in a matchday squad on 8 November, remaining an unused substitute for their 3–1 win over Hemel Hempstead Town at Gigg Lane in the first round of the FA Cup.[3] Ruddy was first included in a league game on 28 December, again remaining on the bench in a 2–0 League Two triumph of the same score against Mansfield Town, repeating the feat four times as the team earned promotion to League One.[4]
Ruddy made his professional debut on 14 November 2015, playing the full 90 minutes of a 3–1 League One loss at Gillingham[5] in what turned out to be his only first team appearance for Bury.
On 29 August 2015 he moved to Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers on a two-year deal (with the option of a further year) for an undisclosed fee.[6]
International career
Ruddy has represented Scotland up to under-17 level.[2]
