Bolton have agreed a deal
to sign Aston Villa defender Jlloyd Samuel.
Samuel has joined Bolton on a free transfer after seeing out his
contract at Villa.
The former England Under 21 international struggled to hold down a
place in Martin O'Neill's side last term and he has decided to move
on.
Bolton boss Sammy Lee was delighted to land the 26-year-old as he
plans for next season.
"I'm delighted that Jlloyd will join us and I think he will be an
excellent signing," said Lee.
"He's versatile and will offer us quality in a number of positions,
which is vital for our squad.
"He's English, has youth on his side and I think he will give us a
lot."
Lee is expecting more activity in the transfer market as he looks
to bolster the squad for the new season.
"There's activity going on all the time, even though it's the close
season," he said.
"Just because there are no games, it doesn't mean that there isn't
any activity.
"We are always looking to strengthen the squad with quality
additions."
