Sean Davis has expressed his delight in sealing a move to Bolton Wanderers, explaining that the club's prolonged interest was the reason he decided to ink a deal at the Reebok Stadium.

The 29-year-old was subject of a rejected bid from Bolton in the January transfer window, however Gary Megson has now secured the midfielder's services on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract at Portsmouth.

"I'm very happy that my future is sorted and that I have signed a three-year contract," Davis exclusively told the Bolton Wanderers official website.

"Bolton showed a genuine interest in January and I found that hugely encouraging. It is an exciting opportunity, not just for me but my family as well.



"I'm really looking forward to getting back and I'll be raring to go at the start of the season. I just want to come to Bolton and work hard, enjoy my football and take the club forward.

"I have got some friends here already in Matt Taylor and Andy O'Brien who both spoke highly of the Manager and the set-up. It's always nice when there are familiar faces at a new club and I'm sure that it will help me to bed in with the rest of the squad.

"Bolton Wanderers has got modern facilities and a great stadium, plus I wanted to move to a club where I can play my football and be appreciated."
