[17] Byrne scored his first goal for the club on 17 December, a late consolation in a 2–3 home loss to Leeds United. [18] His second and final goal for the club also came at Molineux, when he opened the scoring in a 2–1 win over Bristol City on 8 March 2016. [19] What was to be his final appearance for the club came as a late substitute in a 1–1 draw at eventual champions Burnley on 19 March, where his last-minute corner was headed in by Danny Batth.
