Career

Proudlock began his career as a trainee with Wolves in August 1998. He had a loan spell at Scottish side Clyde at the start of the 2000/01 season to gain first team experience. There, he scored a hat trick on his professional debut on 5 August 2000 against fc|Falkirk.

He became a regular starter for Wolves throughout that season, which he ended as their top goalscorer with 11 goals.

He found himself mostly relegated to the substitutes bench in the 2001/02 season after manager Dave Jones spent heavily in the close season on new attacking players. He scored a hat trick against afc|Bradford City in October 2001, which earned praise from Jones, [cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/1598967.stm| title=Jones hails Proudlock|date=2001-10-14|publisher=BBC Sport|accessdate=2008-07-06] but these ended up his only goals of the season.
