His Football League debut followed shortly after, when he joined Milton Keynes Dons on loan.
Overall, Ismail played nine games for the Dons before returning to his parent club.
In 2012.13, the exciting winger started the season as a Wolves regular and made 11 appearances across all competitions.
During the January transfer window, Ismail was allowed to join Burton Albion to aid with their push for the Sky Bet League 2 Play-Offs.
His performances helped them to reach the Play-Off Final, where they were eventually beaten by Fleetwood Town.

The highly rated 20-year-old will now look to make the step up to League 1 again with the Magpies during his six-month loan.
