Chris Basham has made great strides at the Reebok since graduating from the club's reserve set-up.
The former Newcastle United trainee was snapped up by Bolton in 2006 and performed steadily in the reserves, before picking up vital first-team experience during a loan spell at Rochdale.
The Sunderland-born youngster made his Wanderers debut against his hometown club in November 2008, during the Whites' 4-1 victory at the Stadium of Light.
Basham then made his first start at the Emirates Stadium at the turn of the year as injuries, suspensions and illness hit Bolton's squad. He followed that up with an admirable performance in centre-midfield a week later against reigning Premier League Champions Manchester United.
Basham, whose versatility means he can occupy positions in both defence and midfield, undoubtedly has a bright future ahead of him.
