The Israeli midfielder started the 2009/10 season in fine style by netting three goals inside the opening two months of the season.

Strikes at Portsmouth and Birmingham helped to ensure Wanderers recorded back-to-back away wins in September after Cohen had opened his account with a well-taken goal against Liverpool in the second home match of the season.

Cohen joined the club during the 2008 January transfer window in a £650,000 deal from Maccabi Netanya.

He spent the early part of his career at Maccabi Tel Aviv, making his first team debut in 2002, before moving on to Maccabi Netanya five years later.

In his first season at the Reebok, Cohen made 11 appearances in the Wanderers first team.

However, his second season with the club was blighted by injury and he ended up spending five months on the sidelines with a persistent thigh problem.

He eventually returned to the fold in the final couple of months of that campaign, earning his first start against Aston Villa on April 25 and promptly stole the show with a vibrant midfield performance, culminating in a neatly taken equalizer to earn Bolton a vital point.

He celebrated that goal by saluting his friends and family, who were sat in the West Stand, after he had been handed a 'lucky shekel' to put down his sock..
